🍎 Apple Brownies with Maple Glaze 🧺 Ingredients For the Brownies: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp nutmeg 1 cup brown sugar, packed ½ cup granulated sugar 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 2 large eggs 1½ tsp vanilla extract 2 cups peeled, chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great) ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) For the Maple Glaze: ¼ cup butter ½ cup pure maple syrup 1 cup powdered sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract Pinch of salt 🥣 Directions Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and glossy. Combine: Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in chopped apples and nuts if using. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before glazing. 🍁 Make the Maple Glaze In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in maple syrup and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Pour or drizzle over the cooled brownies. Let the glaze set for about 15–20 minutes before cutting. 💡 Tips For extra flavor, sauté apples briefly in butter and cinnamon before folding into the batter. If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner one, add more maple syrup. Store covered at room temperature up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. #apple #brownie #Recipe #fall #Foodie - @dishondeals
