Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Snickerdoodle Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in one large egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until fully combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon topping over it.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for golden edges and doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
