Custardy Apple Squares
 
Ingredients
  • 3 medium sweet apples, such as Fuji or Gala, peeled
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons milk (I used 1 %)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter or spray an 8-inch square baking pan or dish.
  2. Slice apples thinly, about 1/16th inch thick. They should be thin but not transparent and fragile.
  3. Whisk flour and baking powder in small bowl.
  4. In large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar and salt for about 2 minutes, until sugar dissolved and eggs pale. Whisk in vanilla, followed by milk and melted butter. Turn flour into bowl and stir with whisk until batter smooth. Add apples and switch to flexible spatula to gently fold apples into batter. Gently turn apples so all coated. Scrape batter into pan and smooth top as evenly as possible, there will be bumps.
  5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown. Make sure middle done by inserting knife to make sure it comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes and cut into 9 squares.
