2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. chopped pecans
1 to 2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 c. peeled, finely chopped apples

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.) In large bowl, combine first 3 ingredients. Blend at low speed until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Press 2 3/4 cups crumb mixture into ungreased 13 x 8 inch pan. To remaining mixture, add cinnamon, soda, salt, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Blend well. Stir in apples, spoon evenly over base. Bake 25 to 35 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cut into squares; serve with whipped cream, if desired. Very very good!!!!!
