Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
