Easy and Delicious Apple Squares

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these scrumptious apple squares:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s walk through the steps to create these apple squares:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon and lemon juice, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Layer the apple mixture evenly over the batter. Spoon the remaining batter on top of the apples, spreading it as evenly as possible.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, allow the apple squares to cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
