Apple Walnut Squares
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling
YIELD: 12-16 servings.
I MAKE "apple everything" in fall when the new crop is in, and I was happy to add this delicious recipe to my apple dishes. A lady at church shared it with me.
Sometimes I'll top the squares with a cream cheese frosting, especially if I'm having company.
