Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 count Large egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated apple (peeled if desired)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well mixed.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the grated apple gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the apple squares to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, cut into 9 equal squares and serve. These can be enjoyed as is, or with a light dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
