Cheddar Crunch Apple Squares Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Make the vanilla wafer crumbs in a food processor or with a rolling pin and combine with the coconut, cinnamon, cheese, and butter to form a crumbly mixture. Press half of this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch inch baking pan. Spread the apple pie filling on top of the bottom crust. Top with the remaining crumb mixture; do not press down. Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Place the rack in the refrigerator to cool completely. To serve, cut into 2-inch squares.

Steps:

• Process flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter; pulse until pea-size lumps appear. Pulse in cheese. With processor running, add ice water; process just until dough comes together.
• Turn dough out; gather into a block. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.

Steps:

• 1. In large bowl stir together cookie crumbs, flour, brown sugar and baking soda. Cut in margarine or butter until crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup of pecans. Press onto bottom of ungreased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. 2. Sprinkle cheese over crumb mixture in pan. In large bowl combine apple slices, granulated sugar, remaining 1/2 cup pecans, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon over cheese. Bake at 350°F about 45 minutes or until edges are golden and apples are tender. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Slice the apples. A corer-slicer makes this job a snap.
• 2. Put the apple slices in a large mixing bowl, toss with the lemon juice and water.
• 3. Arrange the apple slice mixture in a 9x9" baking dish that has been prepared with food release spray.
• 4. Combine 1/4 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and sprinkle over the apples.

• 7. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples.
• 8. Bake at 350* about 45 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden brown.
• 9. NOTE: You can use whatever apple you like, but I think Granny Smith is the best, or maybe Pippin. This recipe is easy to multiply. It can easily be made gluten free by substituting gluten free flour. I like Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour.
