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

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉.
  2. In a small pan, toast the pecan pieces until fragrant, set aside to cool.
  3. Peel, core, and chop apples into small chunks, about 1/2 inch.
  4. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter & sugar, then add egg and mix again until mixture is fluffy.
  5. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix just until combined.
  6. Add the apples and pecans and mix well. The batter will now be sticky and wet from the apples.
  7. 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.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for about 15 minutes before slicing.
  9. Cut into squares and serve. Would be great with ice cream!
