Cheesy Dapper Apple Squares

This recipe was a winner of the pillsbury bake-off contest many years ago, i've been making this recipe for the past 20 years, it's a very easy recipe and i have never met anyone who doesn't like it, and it has remained a family favorite! I make it using grated cheddar in place of the slices, and i always increase the amount of cheese slightly, i also add in a small amount of cinnamon to the crust.

Steps

Set oven to 350 degrees.

Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl mix together the flour , graham cracker crumbs , brown sugar , baking soda and butter.

Set aside 1-1 / 2 cups of the crumb mixture , then pat the rest into the prepared baking dish.

In a medium-size bowl combine the apples with the sugar , then layer over the cheese slices.

Add in the walnuts to the reserved 1-1 / 2 cups mixture , then sprinkle evenly over the apples.

Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
