Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled apples (about 2 medium)
  • For the topping:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, you can try a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Ensure your apples are peeled and chopped into small, uniform pieces for even baking.
  • These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
