Brandied Apple Bars

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup brandy
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3 large apple - peeled, cored and diced

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, and sugar until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Spread into the bottom of the prepared pan. This is the crust.

Step 3

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar together until thick and pale. Add the brandy and mix well. Combine the remaining flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the egg mixture. Mix in apples and walnuts. Spread the filling over the hot crust.

Step 5

Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until filling is set. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
