1 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 cups Brown sugar, packed
2 large Eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Diced apples, peeled, cored, and cut into small 1/2-inch pieces Use slightly tart apples for best flavor.
1 cup Caramel sauce, room temperature Reserve half for folding in and half for drizzling.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Line with parchment if you want easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined and slightly glossy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the diced apples and half of the caramel sauce, creating pockets of caramel.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top and swirl if desired.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Warm gently before serving for gooey texture.
