Easy French Apple Squares

The apples - 2 pink lady, 2 fuji, & 2 pinata - all cooked up nicely and weren't too sweet.  According to Nick-Nick, a scoop of ice cream added 30 minutes post baking would have been fantastic.

Even cutting the finished product into 20 squares meant that it packed a whopping 6 weight watchers points using their current plan.  This could be dangerous for me since it was sweet, but not too sweet.  I could easily eat a chunk of it without thinking twice.  As such, I sent about half of it home with Nick-Nick.  Out of sight means out of mind!

Streusel Mixture

Prepared Apple Mixture

Apple Mixture with the rest of the ingredients poured over - it was very thin and I was wondering if I did something wrong!

With the streusel on top & ready for the oven!

1. Heat oven to 350F.  Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2. In medium bowl, mix 1c. Bisquick mix and the brown sugar.  Cut in 1/4c. butter, using pastry blender (or pulling two table knives through ingredients in opposite directions until crumbly.)  Stir in nuts; set aside.  
3. In large bowl, mix apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg; spoon into pan.  In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients until well blended.  Pour mixture over apples.  Sprinkle with streusel.
4. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean and top is golden brown.  Cool 30 minutes or until set before cutting into squares.  Store in refrigerator.

Despite the amount of sugar in the recipe, this didn't seem too sweet to me at all.  It wasn't quite a cake, wasn't a pie texture wise, but it was rather tasty so I can't wait for the kids to try it tomorrow after dinner. I cut the finished product into 20 squares and we decided that would be just about right if it was going to be served following a meal.  A scoop of ice cream on top would be a nice touch if you're looking for a little bit more.  It was super easy to make, and I'll definitely be making it again.
