Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a square baking tin
Cream together the softened butter and sugar until combined into a mixer using a paddle
Add in the vanilla and then the sifted flour and salt until the mixture forms into a dough ball
Transfer 2/3 of the dough to the pan and press down until you cover the base with a layer. I use a glass to help even it out and press it out equally across the base
Spread on a layer of jam using a tablespoon and make sure you cover the base
Into your bowl with the remaining dough add in the granola with your hands and then break apart and add on top of the jam covering it with the dough/granola crumble. You can add on the nuts and a little sugar if you like but I have skipped that part.
Bake for 45 mins or until golden. We can never wait for it cool down but it best served with a hot cup of tea
