Apple brownies are one of my most favorite recipes to make.
I first tried these wonderful apple brownies (or blondies) when I was working in West Lafayette, Indiana. I was the weekend anchor at WLFI-TV18, reported during the week, and on my two days off, I worked for a friend in her charming little bakery.

These apple brownies were a bestseller and were usually my after-work treat. A definite perk of working in a bakery!
My Dad and I actually put an offer in to buy the bakery at one point… but it wasn’t meant to be.
But what WAS meant to be was me making this apple brownie recipe over and over again. Now, I’m so happy to share it with all of you.
You’ll see in the video above just how easy these apple brownies are to make. That’s one of the reasons I love this recipe.

This apple brownie recipe has become one of my most popular recipes and I’ll be anxious to hear how you enjoy them!
I really like to eat them slightly chilled. And while you could definitely use icing on these brownies (maybe a maple glaze?), honestly, I think they’re best when left alone.
