1/2 cup regular oats (not instant), (125 mL)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, (2 mL)

FILLING:

1 cup peeled and diced apple, cut into 1/2 -inch (15 mm) squares, (250 mL)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup SPLENDA® Brand Brown Sugar Blend, (125 mL)
2 tsp vanilla extract, (10 mL)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, (80 mL)

ICING:

3 tbsp SPLENDA® Brand Brown Sugar Blend, (45 mL)
1 tsp vanilla extract cinnamon, for sprinkling, (5 mL)

INSTRUCTIONS

Base:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9-inch (23 cm) baking pan on all sides with parchment paper, so that it hangs over the edge.

Stir butter and SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend to combine. Add flour, oats, cinnamon and salt and stir until a rough crumbly texture forms. Press into prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes. Cool while preparing filling.

Filling:

Sprinkle diced apple over cooled crust. Whisk eggs, SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend and vanilla to combine, then whisk in flour and baking powder. Pour over apples (filling will just cover) and bake for about 25 minutes, until filling is set and starting to brown.

Cool to room temperature then chill completely, about 2 hours.

Icing:

Beat butter with SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend and vanilla until smooth. Spread over chilled filling, sprinkle with cinnamon and chill 20 minutes to set. To slice, remove squares from pan by lifting parchment and slice into 25 squares.

Store squares refrigerated for up to 5 days.
