Sour Cream Apple Squares Recipe

Posted on 28. May, 2009 by admin in Apple Bars

“Mom and I formulated this recipe back in the ’50s after visiting a friend’s farm where they made the most delicious sour cream ever. Our first try was perfect, and these apple squares soon became a favorite to serve at social functions. Years ago, we made six pans of these squares when a young Johnny Carson presented his magic show at our card club!”

INGREDIENTS

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 cups packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
* 1 cup chopped nuts
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup sour cream
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 egg, beaten
* 2 cups chopped, peeled apples
* Whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and butter; blend at low speed until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Press about 2-3/4 cups into the bottom of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. To the remaining crumb mixture, add cinnamon, baking soda, salt, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Beat until thoroughly combined. Stir in apples. Spoon evenly over bottom layer. Bake at 3507 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
