To be honest this is less of a brownie and more what we would call a blondie, but who am I to judge they are fricking tasty! The only issue I have with these are that the apples settle to the bottom and sort of make them get a bit soggy after a day or so. I would suggest eating em the day of making them, but I am going to experiment with coating the apple and pecans with some flour and see if that helps (don't worry I will post if it makes a diffence). So now onward to the recipe!
(please wait while I look through the cookbook to find it) Cookbook- 1,000 Recipe Cookbook (no author listed)
Apple Brownies- serves 12
225g/8oz butter, softened
400g/14oz granulated sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
475g/1 lb 1oz plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
500g/1 lb 2oz baking apples, peeled, cored and chopped
100g/4oz pecan nuts
icing sugar, to dust ( I don't do this as I find them sweet enough)
1. Preheat the oven to 180 celcius/350 fierenhiet/gas mark 4. Grease a 23cm/9in square baking tin.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter,sugar, eggs and vanilla essence using an electric mixer.
3. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, then add to the butter mixture. Mix until the flour is moistened. Fold in the apples and the pecan nuts.
4. Spread the mix in the baking tin, and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin on a wire rack, then cut into squares and dust with icing sugar.
And that is the recipe its fairly simple and if you are allergic to nuts maybe you can try another type of fruit or something and see how it goes. If you serve these for a dessert maybe do some ice cream with it. Hopefully this will go well for you and taste nice. When I try the flour on the apples before adding it I will post on here to let everyone know how it has gone. Also Kait try not to eat all the brownies :P
