How to Make Apple Harvest Squares
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Arrange 4-5 cups thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium) over the crust.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
- Carefully pour the topping evenly over the partially baked apples.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
