Black Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 and grease a 9X13 pan.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, 2 cups of the oats, butter, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the remaining oats a little at a time until the mixture just starts to form big clumps. (Discard the rest.).

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, mix the preserves, water, and lemon juice. Press 1/2 the crust dough in the pan. Slather on the preserve mixture, keeping away from the very edges so the fruit doesn't burn. Sprinkle remaining crust mixture on top.

4. 4

   Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the top crust is lightly browned.
