LINDA'S APPLE BROWNIES



Linda's Apple Brownies image

The first time I had these I thought I had died and gone to heaven... This recipe is in the Top 5 for my FAVORITE desserts... Add a scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream on top of one of these YUMMY brownies when they are warm, is the ULTIMATE in desserts in my opinion! 1-23-08 I did make an adjustment on this recipe. It should have been an 8x8" pan not a 9x13"... No wonder they were coming out crumbly! Also, I use 2 med. McIntosh apples for mine.

In this article, we will outline valuable tips for making apple brownie recipes.

Tip 1: Choose The Right Apples

The type of apple you use in your recipe can make a significant difference in the taste and texture of your apple brownie. Therefore, you need to choose the right type of apple. Overall, apples that are slightly tart are ideal for apple brownies. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jonathan, and Pink Lady are some of the best choices. They all have a firm texture and provide an excellent balance of sweetness and tartness.
Tip 1.1: Peel And Cut The Apples Properly
Peeling and cutting apples can be a daunting task, but it is essential when making apple brownies. How you peel and cut your apples can also affect the outcome of your dessert. Using a sharp knife or apple peeler, carefully cut the apples into thin, bite-sized slices. Take care not to make them too thick, as they won't cook evenly. By cutting them into uniform sizes, you ensure that they cook evenly.

Tip 2: Make Sure The Brownie Batter Is Moist Enough

When it comes to making apple brownies, the batter plays a significant role in the final outcome. It would be best if you made sure that the brownie batter is moist enough. It needs to be the right consistency that allows the apple slices to sink in but still holds its shape. The key is to add a little bit of milk to the batter, which will give it the perfect consistency.
Tip 2.1: Avoid Over-Mixing The Batter
When mixing the batter, be careful not to over-mix it. Over-mixing can cause air pockets, resulting in a cakey texture rather than a fudgy one. A gentle hand is essential when folding in the apple slices so that they don't break, resulting in a mushy mess.

Tip 3: Add Spices And Nuts

To elevate the flavors of your apple brownies, consider adding some spices and nuts. Cinnamon is a popular spice that compliments the apple flavor well. Nutmeg, ginger, and cloves are also excellent options. Nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds, add a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor that compliments the sweetness of the apple.
Tip 3.1: Toast The Nuts
Toasting nuts is a simple trick that elevates the flavor of apple brownies. It brings out the natural oils within the nuts, providing a richer, nuttier flavor. To toast nuts, preheat your oven to 350°F and place the nuts on a baking sheet. Bake them for 5-10 minutes, until they turn golden brown.

Tip 4: Don't Overbake Your Apple Brownies

When it comes to baking apple brownies, you need to be vigilant about the cooking time. Overbaking can cause the apples to dry up and turn mushy, and the brownies may become too cakey. Therefore, you need to make sure that you check your apple brownies frequently in the oven. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie to check if it is done. It should come out clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
Tip 4.1: Let The Brownies Cool Before Cutting Them
Once you take the apple brownies out of the oven, let them cool fully before cutting them into pieces. This will prevent them from crumbling and falling apart. Cutting warm brownies can also cause them to become dense and hard.

Tip 5: Serve With Whipped Cream Or Ice Cream

Finally, you can take your apple brownie dessert up a notch by serving it with whipped cream or ice cream. The sweet and tart apple flavor pairs perfectly with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tip 5.1: Add Extra Apple Slices For Garnish
To make your presentation more impressive, you can also add extra apple slices on top of your apple brownie for garnish. You can either bake or sauté them before placing them on top of the brownie. This will add an extra layer of flavor and make your apple brownie look impressive.

Conclusion

In conclusion, making the perfect apple brownie requires some attention to detail. Choosing the right apples, making sure the brownie batter is moist enough, adding spices and nuts, not overbaking, and serving with whipped cream or ice cream are all essential steps. Follow these tips and enjoy your mouth-watering apple brownies.
