Brown Sugar Apple Squares
These Brown Sugar Apple Squares are soft, chewy, and full of caramelised apple flavour. With just 7 simple ingredients and only 10 minutes of prep, this easy apple dessert is perfect for fall baking or a quick sweet treat anytime.
Ingredients
- 90g melted butter (or vegetable/sunflower oil)
- 200g dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 200g plain flour
- ½ tsp flaky sea salt (or ¼ tsp fine salt)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 medium apple (about 100g), peeled and diced into small cubes
Method
- Preheat the oven to 175c fan. Grease and line an 8x8 inch square baking tin with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and egg until smooth and evenly combined.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined - the mixture will be thick.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Scatter and lightly press the apple cubes into the surface of the batter.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and the edges are set. A toothpick inserted in the centre should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the tin before slicing into bars. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
