Apple Pie Bars

Recipe from the velvet bird.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of ground cloves
1 stick of butter, softened
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 TBSP of vanilla
2 apples, cored and diced (don't bother peeling them& granny smith is best, but any variety will do!)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and spices.
In a large bowl (or your stand mixer) beat butter and sugars together until light&fluffy.
Add in eggs one at a time on low speed until completely mixed together and smooth.
Add in a little flour mixture at a time on low, mix until all of the flour is incorporated.
The dough will be super thick, more like the consistency of cookie dough so don't worry if its hard to mix!
Stir in apple chunks.

Spread dough evenly into your greased pan, you can use a spatula to help get it even or I just sprayed my hands with a little of the nonstick spray and flattened everything out that way.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, it will be a yummy golden brown looking.
Let cool completely before cutting into them.
