Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups peeled and diced apples
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Add the softened butter to the dry mixture and mix until crumbly. Then, add in the egg and stir until the mixture forms a thick batter.
  5. Gently fold in the peeled and diced apples, along with any nuts if you're using them.
  6. Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bars to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares or rectangles.
