Sour Cream Apple Squares


I'm always looking for apple recipes and this is one of my favorite desserts using apples. I made this cake yesterday. It should probably be cut into squares smaller than a piece of cake. I call it a cake but it's more of a bar cookie. The bottom layer adds a delicious crunch to this cinnamony moist apple dessert. Serve it as is, dust with confectioner's sugar, or add a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping.

Sour Cream Apple Squares
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
2 teaspoons Watkins Cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla Extract
1 egg, beaten
2 cups chopped peeled apples
Confectioners' sugar
Whipped cream or topping (optional)

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and butter; blend at low speed until crumbly. Stir in the nuts. Press about 2 3/4 cups into the bottom of an ungreased 13-inch x 9-inch x 2-inch baking pan.

To the remaining crumb mixture, add cinnamon, baking soda, salt, sour cream, vanilla, and egg. Beat until thoroughly combined. Stir in apples.

Spoon evenly over bottom layer. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into squares. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Yields 12-15 servings.

Peppermint Patties
Make some mints for your family for Valentine's Day and attach a homemade Valentine that says "We were MINT for each other."

2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter
2 teaspoons Watkins Peppermint Extract
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla Extract
2 tablespons cream
8 ounces (about 1 1/3 cup) dark chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. In a blender, cream together the sugar, butter, extracts, and cream on low speed. After the ingredients are combined, raise the speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes until mixture holds together very well and is creamy, not powdery.

Using a teaspoon, roll the candy into small balls and flatten them on the wax paper or silpat with the palm of you hand into patty shapes. When done, put them in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the chopped chocolate and the shortening in the microwave or over a double boiler.

Using dipping tools or two dinner forks, dip the patties into the chocolate one by one. Drag them across the lip of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Return them to the wax paper or silpat, and place back in the refrigerator to set the candies. They should be ready to eat in a few hours.

Due to the dairy ingredient, these need to be kept in the refrigerator. Layer the patties between sheets of parchment in an airtight container. They'll keep for a month.

Place an order this month and you could win a Watkins Winter Survival Kit.
