Simple Apple Squares
Author: swampkitty05 // Category: Food Blogging Event, Recipes, UncategorizedI like to bake with seasonal ingredients - in late spring and early summer, you’ll see a lot of berry dishes. In late summer, a lot of stone fruit. Autumn, to me, is all about apples and pears and winter squash. Mostly apples.
From the way this recipe looked on Jill’s blog, I expected the final product to be moist, but still be something you can eat with your hands - wow, this recipe was WAY moister than I expected it to be. Great flavor, but didn’t hold together for love or money. It would be great as the base for a sundae. It kind of reminds me of the country apple cake I used to make.
I’m submitting this to Joelen as part of her Tasty Tools - Bakeware event.
Simple Apple Squares
recipe from Simple Daily Recipes
3 large apples, peeled and diced
1 c. pecans, roughly chopped
2 c. flour
1 3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs or 1/2 c. healthy egg substitute
3/4 c. canola oil or natural applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
Prep the apples and pecans, set aside. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon and salt together. Make a well, pour in eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir by hand. The batter becomes very thick. Fold in the apples and pecans until well mixed. Pour into a well greased pan. There’s enough batter to fill one 9 x 13 inch pan.
Bake for 40 minutes. Allow to completely before removing from pan.

Yours even looks like an apple pie; the top looks crispy.
Looks wonderful! - makes me want to drop a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream on top.
It’s interesting that we have the same recipe but got two different textures. Mine turned out with more of a muffin texture, dense & moist.
Thank you for linklove.
Hollar if I can ever do anything for you.
Your friend,
Jill
