Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
-
In a bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set it aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the margarine, applesauce, granulated sugar substitute, brown sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the butter mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before using the parchment paper overhang to lift them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and serve.
