Apple Brownies

These Apple Brownies have become a favorite in our household. Although they're not chocolate or what they call "blonde brownies," they stand out from the crowd because they're so moist, chewy, and good tasting.

To borrow a phrase from Dick Clark, who can deny that the main ingredient being apples would automatically take the recipe “right to the top of the charts." Oh my, I’m thinking of my old “Bandstand” days again...it must have been triggered by the “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” program. Sorry about that.

Back to our apple brownies...my guess is that if you bake these brownies one night, depending on the size of your family, they will be gone the next. I know that if I brought a batch to work with me, there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would be returning home with an empty plate. That's a good thing, though.
