📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

6. Gently fold in the diced apple and walnuts, if using.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

8. To prepare the streusel topping, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

9. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

11. Allow the coffee squares to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Sour Cream Apple Coffee Squares!
