Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
-
Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and an additional tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the Sour Cream Apple Squares to cool before cutting them into squares and serving.
