Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams light brown sugar
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 large apple, peeled and diced
• 150 grams butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy. Let the mixture cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the vanilla extract and add the eggs one at a time, whisking well to combine after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the diced apple and butterscotch chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing into 16 squares.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
