Country Apple Squares

Description: I found this recipe in a newspaper a number of years ago, and I have been making it ever since. The apples go so well with the crumb and cream cheese layers. When fall comes around, this dessert is a real hit! Hint: Many reviewers have suggested doubling the amount of cream cheese!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 1/2 cups apples, peeled and chopped

Steps:

1. Combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.
2. Cut in butter to resemble coarse crumbs.
3. Add walnuts.
4. Measure 2 cups crumb mixture and set aside.
5. Press remaining mixture into a greased 9" x 13" pan.
6. Beat cream cheese and milk until smooth.
7. Mix in egg, sugar, and vanilla.
8. Pour over crumb mixture, and top with apples.
9. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbs and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.
