Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 count Large egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated apple (peeled if desired)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated apple gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the apple squares to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 9 equal squares and serve. These can be enjoyed as is, or with a light dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
