Caramel Apples Squares

This recipe is an altered version of something Paula Deen concocted. I cut the butter and sugar in half, and added butterscotch chips!!!



Ingredients:

• .5 cup water
• 4 green apples (peeled, cored, and diced into .5 inch cubes)


• 1.5 cup self rising flour


• 2/3 cup sugar


• 1.5 cup milk


• .5 stick butter


• 3 handfulls of butterscotch chips


• 3 generous shakes of cinnamon


• lemon juice from half a lemon

Directions:

In a saucepan bring water to a boil and then add the green apple cubes. Simmer with cinnamon, and lemon juice until all the water is evaporated. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Faranheit. Place butter on a square baking pan and allow to melt in oven. Meanwhile carefully mix flour, sugar and milk in a bowl, making sure to get rid of all the clumps. Take the pan out of the oven and pour the batter into it. I usually give the batter a couple stirs with a wooden spoon to mix the melted butter in evenly. Evenly scatter the cooked apples and butterscotch chips onto the batter. Return to oven and bake for 30 mins. It will be done when the top is starting to turn golden and you can pierce it with a table knife and have it come out clean.
