Easy Apple Squares Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped apple
• 0.5 cup finely chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. In a separate small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of white sugar with the remaining 2 teaspoons of cinnamon for the topping.
3. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and melted butter with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract. Gently blend in the flour mixture until just combined, then fold in the diced apple and walnuts. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the apple squares springs back slightly when lightly touched, about 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 equal pieces.
