I’ll keep this short and sweet… these brownies are to.die.for.
I whipped these puppies up one Sunday morning and enjoyed them all day and all week. Because they have apples in them, they are totally okay to have for breakfast. I promise. Any type of fruit in a brownie automatically qualifies the brownie as a breakfast item. I don’t know if you knew that, but it’s true. It is written.
They are moist, sweet, and have SO much flavor. These brownies are perfect for a chilly October night following a warm bowl of chicken and corn chowder. Sounds like an A-okay evening to me!
Make these soon! You’ll love them!
Apple Brownies (from Martha Stewart Living Magazine, October Issue)
Ingredients
1 stick salted butter, melted then cooled
1 cup all- purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 large, sweet apples, cored and diced into cubes
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8×11 baking dish (I used 9×13). Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
Beat together butter, sugar, and egg using an electric mixer until pale, about 2 minutes. Mix in the apples and walnuts and stir by hand until combined. Mix in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds.
Spread the batter into the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and slightly firm. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes then slice into bars.
Enjoy!

is the recipe correct where it says salted butter?
Yes, use salted butter! Thank you for stopping by!
thanks!
Made these tonight, they turned out great! I used pecans instead of walnuts and it was delicious! Highly recommend making this!
I stumbled upon this recipe yesterday and was so compelled by your awesome photos (way better than Martha’s) that I rushed home and made these last night. WEEKDAY baking! Who knew it could be so easy! Plus, I was able to use up some leftover whipping cream.
I used our Lady Alice variety which is new and has a texture that holds up extremely well for baking. I look forward to checking out more of your recipes (and I’m sure our followers will too- shared your recipe on our FB this morning)!
Thank you so much!! Your comment made our day. So glad it turned out well! I’ve made this recipe many times since… it’s so good! Next time I’ll definitely try the Lady Alice variety. Thank you for the suggestion! And thank you for sharing with your readers!
Yum, totally going to veganize and make this!!
Made these tonight. I also used pecans, because I had no walnuts on hand.
They were very delicious, and so simple and quick. Will be making them again soon!
Wow that was to die for. I really love this baking style. It is so good. Thank you so much!!!!
You are so very welcome!! Glad you stopped by and tried it out!! 😘
I realize that this isn’t a new recipe for you, but I just found it on Pinterest and am gathering the ingredients right now to go bake it! It looks divine! I am going to make it gluten-free so I can enjoy it with my family. (No need to tell them though lol). Thanks for sharing this recipe.
