Apple Walnut Squares


This is a very simple recipe, easy to whip up for breakfast or a mid-day snack. I found this recipe in an old magazine. It seemed like it was missing an ingredient since it read to "pour" into a greased pan. The batter was very stiff, almost like dough, and definitely would not pour, so I added about 1/3 cup of sour cream. This resulted in a moist cake-like dish. I might try it without the added ingredient next time, to see if they might be chewier and easier to eat by hand.


1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup diced apple
3/4 cup chopped walnuts


Cream butter and sugar. An easy way to soften butter if you don't have time to let it sit at room temperature, is to microwave on med-low power for about 20 seconds. Add the egg and beat. Sift dry ingredients and gradually add to the butter mixture. Stir in the chopped apples, then nuts. Spread into a greased 8 x 8 inch glass baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes.
