Apple Brownies plus Giveaway

  Last Saturday, my family and I went apple picking.  This is the first time my family and I went apple picking.  I love exploring something out the norm with my family and still having fun.  We had such a grand time. 

    For this whole week I will be celebrating apples right here at NDY.  Everyday for this week, I will be sharing amazing apple recipes. 

    Today I present Apple Brownies.  I know when you think brownie you think chocolate.  Not in this recipe.  It more reminds of a bread pudding. 

    It is sweet, soft, tasteful, and to die for.  When you cut this brownie it just crumbles because of how moist it is.  The cinnamon, apples, and walnuts are a perfect treat to start off NDY Apple Party.

Apple Brownies

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/14 tsp. baking soda
1 stick unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 large firm-sweet apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 - inch cubes.

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Butter 8 x 11 inch baking dish.
2.  Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.  In an electric mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and egg with paddle attachment for 2 minutes, until mixture is pale.
3.  Stop mixer.  Fold in by hand walnuts and apples until well combined.  Add flour mixture, and sit until combined.
4.  Spread batter in baking pan and bake until golden brown and slightly firm, about 40 minutes.  Let cool on a wire rack 30 minutes, and then cut into bars.
