Norwegian Apple Squares

 Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup softened butter

2 eggs

3 cups grated apples

3 tablespoons sugar

cinnamon to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375

In a bowl combine 1 cup sugar with 1 cup softened butter, mix until combined, then add two eggs and mix until combined, then mix in the flour.  Pat half the mixture in a 9 by 13 inch baking pan.  In another bowl toss grated apples with 3 tablespoons of sugar, then spread apples over bottom layer of dough, and sprinkle with cinnamon.  Then top with remaining dough, I like to drop dough on by teaspoonful.  Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until light golden brown.  Cool and cut into squares.  The buttery crust is delicious with the apples!
