Soft, chewy snickerdoodle bars infused with sweet-tart apples and topped with a buttery cinnamon-sugar crunch—perfect for fall gatherings or cozy afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith recommended)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold the diced apples into the batter. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle it generously over the batter, ensuring an even coating.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before slicing to ensure clean edges. For extra indulgence, drizzle caramel on top after baking.
