Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 cups brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup pecans (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

  3. In a large mixing bowl combine first flour, butter, and brown sugar. Blend together until crumbly, using a mixer on low speed. Stir in chopped pecans. Press 2 3/4 cups of the crumb mixture into an ungreased 13X9-inch pan.

  4. To the remaining mixture add cinnamon, soda, salt, sour cream, vanilla, and egg. Blend well with mixer. Stir in the chopped apples. Spoon evenly over the crumb layer.

  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

  6. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired. Serve warm or cold.
