Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped apples (peeled and cored)

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined to evenly distribute spices and leavening.
  3. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, blend the melted butter with the brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a rich base.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, which helps create a tender texture.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the brownies.
  6. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter to distribute the fruit evenly throughout without breaking it down.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly for consistent baking.
  8. Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  9. Cool and Glaze: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before mixing the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle the maple glaze over the brownies before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are peeled and cored for the best texture.
  • Use fresh spices for maximum flavor impact.
  • Adjust milk quantity in the glaze to achieve desired consistency.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
