Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 cups Apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the apple squares to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
