Apple-Berry Streusel Bars

2-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
3 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
1 jar (12 ounces) raspberry preserves
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

In a mixing bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Beat in butter just until moistened. Set aside 2 cups for topping. Pat remaining oat mixture into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake at 375ºF for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, toss apples with remaining flour. Stir in the preserves; spread over hot crust to within 1/2-inch of edges. Combine nuts and reserved oat mixture; sprinkle over fruit mixture. Bake 30 to 35 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting. Yield: 4 dozen.
