Ingredients
Apples:
- 1 medium honeycrisp apple peeled & finely diced
- 1 tsp butter
- ½ tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cider vinegar
- 1 tsp flour
Cake:
- 6 tbsp butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp pecans roughly chopped
Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- a few teaspoons of apple juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x8 glass baking dish with coconut oil cooking spray.
- Prepare the apples by melting 1 teaspoon of butter over medium heat in a small skillet. Add the apple and cook for one minute, tossing to coat evenly with the butter. Sprinkle with ½ tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon flour then cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally; set aside to cool.
- Make the brown butter in a medium saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns golden brown and starts smelling like nuts. Whisk in 3/4 cup brown sugar and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, until well combined.
- Once the butter/sugar mixture has cooled to room temperature, whisk in the oil, vanilla extract, and eggs, one at a time. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture until just combined. Fold in the finely diced apples.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish then sprinkle the top with chopped pecans.
- Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and placing the pieces on a wire cooling rack.
- Make the glaze by sifting the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Gradually stir in the apple juice, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the consistency of a thick glaze. It should be pourable, but not liquid.
- Drizzle over the cooled cake bars at an angle. Serve and enjoy.
