Cinnamon Apple Streusel Bars (TNT)

Time needed 10 min preparation + 30 min cooking
Serving Size / Yield 16 bars

Ingredients:

1 C. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Dash salt
½ tsp. cinnamon
½ stick butter, melted
½ C. brown sugar
½ C. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 C. apple, peeled and chopped
Cinnamon sugar for topping

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla. Gradually add in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in apples and transfer batter into a greased baking dish. Top with cinnamon sugar and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden.

Gail's Notes:  This is so simple and easy yet incredible! Definitely reminds me of one of my favorite apple recipes (Apple Crisp), but to be honest, as much as I love Apple Crisp, I think this tastes even better!  And I think the next time I make it, I'm going to drizzle some creamy homemade cinnamon-vanilla icing over the top (just to kick it up a notch or two!) in place of the cinnamon sugar sprinkle.

Add sugar to dissolve. Let cool (I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes--worked just fine to cool it down).  Once it is cool, add the olive oil, balsamic glaze (optional), and dressing mix.  Shake well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Gail's Notes:  This is my version of Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing that I just made and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressing f
