Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 unit Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
Gently fold in the diced apples and optional nuts until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the apple brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy these warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or as a cozy snack with a cup of tea!
