How to Make Apple And Ginger Squares

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square baking pan.
2. Peel, core, and chop the 3 medium apples into ½-inch pieces.
3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in ½ cup golden syrup (or maple syrup/honey).
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or slices.
10. For an extra touch, serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
