1 teaspoon baking powder
03 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
04 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 -
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 -
1 cup packed brown sugar
08 -
2 large eggs
09 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 -
1 cup apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
→ Maple Glaze
11 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
12 -
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
13 -
1–2 tablespoons whole milk, as needed
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan, ensuring all corners are coated.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly mixed.
03 -
In a separate large bowl, mix melted unsalted butter with packed brown sugar until smooth and fully combined.
04 -
Add eggs and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until fully integrated and creamy.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
06 -
Gently fold in chopped apples until evenly distributed in the batter.
07 -
Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 -
Remove pan from oven and allow brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before glazing.
09 -
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, and enough milk to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
10 -
Drizzle glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Once set, slice into portions and serve.
# Notes:
01 -
Substitute walnuts or pecans for added texture. Ensure apples are firm for best results; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well.
