Courses: Dessert
Serves: 12 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups 125g / 4.4ozWhite flour - unbleached
2 cups 320g / 11ozBrown sugar - firmly packed
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozButter - (or margarine)
1 cup 146g / 5.1ozChopped nuts - (optional)
2 teaspoons 10mlCinnamon - (or less)
1 teaspoon 5mlSoda
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1 cup 237mlSour cream - (or yogurt)
1 teaspoon 5mlVanilla extract
1   Egg
2 cups 474mlApples - peeled and
  Chopped - (about 2 apples)

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and margarine. Blend at low speed, until the mixture forms fine crumbs. If you want to include them, stir in the nuts now. Place about 2 3/4 cups of the crumb mixture into an ungreased pan, about 13 x 9 inches. Press down firmly.

Add the remaining ingredients (except for the apples) to the remaining crumb mixture. Blend well. Stir the chopped apples into the batter. Spoon the batter evenly over the crumb base in the pan. Bake at 350F. for 30-40 minutes. If you use the larger pan, bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool before cutting. Better yet, let it wait 24 hours before cutting. Store loosely covered.

NOTES:

* Sugary, moist apple squares -- Try to avoid eating very many of these squares on the day you make them, as they improve immeasurably on the second and third day! This recipe originally came from a Pillsbury bake-off. Yield: Makes 12-15 squares.
