Apple Squares

Teresa Ambra
Tasty dessert recipe with apples, sour cream and pecans. The squares are great sprinkled with powdered sugar and then dolloped with vanilla ice cream to serve. These scrumptious treats are delightful for tailgating parties, potlucks, family reunions, backyard barbecues or fall baking. If you enjoy apple desserts, you'll drool over these sweet treats.

Notes

NOTE: The original recipe calls for the recipe to be made this way: Combine flour, brown sugar and butter and blend at low speed until mixture forms fine crumbs. Stir in nuts. Place 2 ¾ cups of crumb mixture in bottom of a greased 9x13” baking dish. Press down firmly. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Spoon batter evenly over crumb base in dish. Bake as above. If using a 10x15” jelly roll pan, bake approximately 25-30 minutes. I have made this recipe both ways with great success.
