Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the Apple Walnut Squares to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, dust the top of the squares with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
-
Slice into squares and serve these delightful treats alongside a hot cup of tea or coffee for a cozy and delicious snack.
