Description
These Apple Brownies are a delicious and sweet treat made with fresh apples and toasted pecans, perfect for satisfying your cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, salted, room temp (112 g)
- 1 cup sugar (200 g)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour (133 g)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped apple pieces (100 g)
- ½ cup toasted pecan pieces (53 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- In a small pan, toast the pecan pieces until fragrant, set aside to cool.
- Peel, core, and chop apples into small chunks, about 1/2 inch.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter & sugar, then add egg and mix again until mixture is fluffy.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix just until combined.
- Add the apples and pecans and mix well. The batter will now be sticky and wet from the apples.
- Pour and press the batter into a buttered 8×8 baking dish (or lined with parchment). Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown across the crust. Time will depend on your oven. It took about 35 minutes for me.
- Remove from oven and let cool in pan for about 15 minutes before slicing.
- Cut into squares and serve. Would be great with ice cream!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh apples.
- These brownies pair wonderfully with vanilla ice cream.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
