Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with butter.

  3. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some extra paper hanging over the sides.

  4. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together.

  5. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the sugars and butter until they become light and fluffy. This should take around 3 minutes.

  6. Add the eggs and vanilla to the sugar-butter mixture. Beat them until well combined.

  7. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Beat until all the ingredients are well combined.

  8. Gently fold in the apples and walnuts into the batter.

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

  10. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.

  11. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Let it cool completely.

  12. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.

  13. Cut the bars into 24 pieces.

While cinnamon is the star spice in this recipe, you can experiment with other warm spices like nutmeg or allspice for a different flavor profile. Just remember to adjust the quantities accordingly.
