Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Measure out 1 1/2 cups of this crumb mixture and set it aside for the topping.
To the remaining crumb mixture, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth to create the base batter.
Spread the base batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, combine the sliced apples with ground cinnamon. Toss to coat the apples evenly with cinnamon.
Layer the cinnamon-coated apple slices evenly on top of the base batter.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the apples, ensuring an even layer across the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the apple squares to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Optionally, dust the top of the squares with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Country Apple Squares!
