Description
Moist, chewy, and warmly spiced Apple Brownies filled with chunks of apple and toasted pecans. A cozy fall treat that’s perfect with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, salted, room temp (112 g)
1 cup sugar (200 g)
1 egg
1 cup all purpose flour (133 g)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped apple pieces (100 g)
1/2 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 and sugar, then add the egg and mix again until the 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).
8. Bake for 30–45 minutes or until golden brown across the crust. It took about 35 minutes for me.
9. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for about 15 minutes before slicing.
10. Cut into squares and serve. Would be great with ice cream!
Notes
Store leftover apple brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat slightly for best texture. Delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
