Autumn Apple Brownies

With the days feeling more and more Autumn like our minds have turned to comfort food and seasonal treats. We're huge fans of chocolate brownies here at HQ however although we would like to, they're not ideal for weekly consumption. Therefore we were pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon this tasty, full of flavour apple brownie recipe over the weekend. Not only is it perfect for this particular time of year but it will also put great use to some spare apples we haven't gotten around to using....perfect!

Let's get started.....

Autumn Apple Brownies

  • 1 cup plain flour (all purpose)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup of caster sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 large firm- sweet apples, about one pound total, peeled, cored and cut into ½ inch tubes.

  • In a separate bowl beat together butter, sugar, and egg with a mixer until pale in colour (roughly 2 mins)

  • Spread batter in pan, and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown and slightly firm.
