Ingredients for Apple Cake Squares

How to Make Apple Cake Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars 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, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Peel and dice the apples. Gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
