How to Make Apple Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup shortening, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently toss 4-5 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup granulated sugar.
  5. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the oat crust.
  6. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the apples.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
