Apple coconut squares

Base
1/2 cup (120gr) butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
grated lemon zest
pinch salt (if the butter is not salted)

Topping
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup freshly grated coconut
2 1/4 cups thin slices of apples

Let the butter soften at room temperature for a while. Mix it well with the sugar and flour. Grate a little lemon zest into it, too. Now pat this into an appropriate sized pan (9x9 inches?) to form a thin bottom layer, and bake it for 10 minutes at 350F.

Meanwhile beat the eggs with the sugar, mix the flour with the baking powder and add to the eggs with the vanilla. Hopefully you have a helping hand around who in the meantime peeled and sliced the apples. Now mix those in also, together with the grated coconut.

When the base starts to get pink around the edges, take it out, let it cool a few minutes, then spread the apple topping evenly over it. Put the pan back in the oven and let it bake for about 20 more minutes, or until the top starts to gain a nice color.

Cool, slice, enjoy!
