Fresh Apple Squares

:  October 1998

Your rating: None Average: 3.9 (15 votes)

You'll love how simple these apple squares are to make. The dough does double-duty as the crust and streusel topping. Try them topped with cinnamon ice cream.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This crumble recipe is great, but I tripled the apples to give it more moisture. (I added a layer to the bottom of the pan, then another layer on top of the last of the crumble.) My boyfriend can't get enough of it! "
