Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the apple squares to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar (optional) before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy these moist and flavorful apple squares as a delightful dessert or snack!
