Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 box brownie mix (about 18.3 oz)
  • Ingredients required by brownie mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)

Fruit and Spice

  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box. Typically, combine the dry mix with required eggs, oil, and water in a large bowl. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Add Apples and Cinnamon: Gently fold the chopped apples and ground cinnamon into the prepared brownie batter, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  3. Pour Batter into Pan: Grease a baking pan (usually 8×8 inches) or line it with parchment paper. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the pan, spreading it out smoothly.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the brownie mixture for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies moist.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before cutting. This helps them set properly and makes cutting easier. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can use any apple variety, but firmer apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold their shape well during baking.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste if you prefer a stronger or milder spice flavor.
  • For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat briefly for a warm dessert experience or enjoy cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
