Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 11x7x2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Add butter to mixing bowl and beat until mixed well. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
4. In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture, beating until well-blended. Fold in apple, toffee and (if desired) pecans. Pour evenly into baking pan. Sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture.
5. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top is deep golden brown and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely. Cut into 15 squares to serve.
