How to Make Apple Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples) and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not completely clean).
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
