How to Make Merridee's Apple Brownies With Butter Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch pie pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pie pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the brownies bake, prepare the butter sauce: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Serve warm brownies topped with the warm butter sauce.
