Here’s a cozy recipe for Apple Brownies with Maple Glaze

Ingredients

For the Apple Brownies:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups peeled and finely chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

For the Maple Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. Make Batter
   In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
4. Add Apples
   Stir in the chopped apples (and nuts if using).
5. Combine
   Gently fold in the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Bake
   Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
7. Cool & Glaze
   Let brownies cool completely. Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth, then drizzle over cooled brownies.
8. Slice & Serve
   Cut into squares and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!

Would you like me to also give you a variation with caramel glaze (instead of maple), in case you don’t have maple syrup on hand?
