    These brownies were the best I ever tasted
    Great recipe!

    • 20 years ago

    I won’t worry about whether this is a “brownie” or not because these moist bars are SO delicious! I’m glad to have found this recipe, it’s one I’ve been looking for after tasting them at a potluck a while back. My husband would eat the entire pan! I chopped the apples rather than sliced, they distribute through the batter better in smaller pieces. I don’t melt the butter, Ijust cream it with the sugar and beat in the egg. Don’t be scared if the batter is stiff and it seems like it is mostly apples, that’s how it is supposed to be and it will turn out fine. Also, when you take them out of the oven, sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over the top…HEAVENLY!

    • 20 years ago

    Simple and good, but more like apple cake than any kind of brownie. Husband loved it and was mad when I ate the last piece.

    • 20 years ago

    Very good, I give it a four because I was concerned that I’d added way too many apples, so I ended up doubling the “batter”. It filled a 8×11 pan. The blondies did end up with a more cake-like consistency, but when you drizzle them with a little caramel, they’re heavenly! If you like walnuts, do not skip them. They do add a great crunch to the blondie. Thanks for the recipe BakerJim!

    • 20 years ago

    These are so good! I used granny smith apples, and the sweet vs. tart taste was perfect. I thought it was a little strange to add the apples before the dry ingredients but it did all come together with a little stirring. Next time, I think I will try adding the apples at the end though. My family all enjoyed these!<br>
    I will also try these with applesauce in place of the butter, and cut some of the sugar to make these super healthy…

    • 20 years ago

    These were marvelous, very moist with just the right amount of spice. I followed the recipe exactly (but I only had two apples) and the brownies came out perfect. Thank-you BakerJim.

    • 20 years ago

    Easy to make, and when I took them to work, all my staff raved about them. Excellent

    • 20 years ago

    Delicious! I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9×13, cooking it until a toothpick came out clean like the recipe says. A big hit!

    • 20 years ago

    Very moist and delicious. Not quite a brownie though. These would be hard to eat with your hands unless the apples were chopped very small. More like a cake….these are screaming for a caramel/pinoche frosting. Will make again.

    • 20 years ago

    Very easy to make and tastes real good. I added a pinch of nutmeg, made it in cup cake alu foils and baked it for 25 minutes.

    • 20 years ago

    these werent anything special

    • 20 years ago

    This excellent recipe should be renamed to Apple Cake as the texture had no resemblance to that of a brownie. Outside of that this was a very tasty dessert, my husband sat down with the pan and didn’t get up until half of the pan was empty. I omitted the walnuts and was very happy with the results.

    • 20 years ago

    I also would not categorize this as “brownies.” It is definitely more of a cake…very moist. Tastes great and is easy to make.

    • 19 years ago

    Taste was pretty good, but they were very soggy. Too many apples maybe? It was also more like a cake than a brownie. Probably won’t make it again, but maybe add more flour?

    • 18 years ago

    Good, but I doubled the recipe to make a 9X13 pan and it actually tasted too buttery and not apple-y enough for me. It was even a little greasy. May try again and sub applesauce for 1/2 the butter.

    • 18 years ago

    All I can say is WOW!! made a pan of it tonight for my family and let just say my brother and my father fought over who was going to get the last piece. Very good

    • 18 years ago

    This recipe definitely has merit! I found several of the reviews helpful in preparation for trying out the brownies. I creamed the butter with the sugar and eggs, added 1 t. vanilla, cut the apples to 2 (really 1 1/2 because mine were large), diced the apples and added them last to mixture. I also used the topping of butter, br. sugar and cinnamon (spread the butter then sprinkler with sugar/cinnamon mixture) and baked for 45 minutes. They turned out pretty moist, but have a delicious flavor; by no means a flop! I think cutting the apples to 1 cup or so(diced) might be key in getting more of a bar/brownie consistency that can be held in hand. I will make these again, I’m sure.

    • 18 years ago

    Ummm Ummm Good! I added a 1/4tsp mace and a sprinkle of nutmeg. This recipe is a hit and will make it again. Thank you for sharing.

    • 18 years ago

    I just made these for company on the weekend. Fabulous!! What a great recipe for fall – thanks for sharing.

    • 18 years ago

    Great flavor, but 35 minute bake time is WAY OFF. It took mine a little over an hour!

    • 18 years ago

    This was easy and delicious!!!! I’ll be making it again for sure.

    • 18 years ago

    I was pleasantly surprised at how good this recipe turned out. It made the whole house smell great and it tasted as good as it smelled.

    • 18 years ago

    Super good. Family loved them and took them to a bake sale and got rave reviews there also.

    • 18 years ago

    These were absolutely delicious! It is more like a cake than a brownie, but it was SO MOIST because of all the apples. THe texture was great too because of the sliced apples. I definately recommend following the recipe and slicing the apples instead of chopping them. I used 3 different kinds of apples, granny smith, jonagold, and golden delicious. I’m going to double this recipe, put it in a 13×9″ pan and take it to some holiday get-togethers. The last one I took it to, it was gone in a flash!

    • 18 years ago

    These were just alright. Nothing more than a really moist apple cake. Fell apart trying to take out of the pan. Ended up spooning them on saucers.

    • 18 years ago

    these are very good and am sure that they are even more moist with a deeper flavor the next day. I browned the butter slightly to give it a more caramel flavor, and added 1 tsp. vanilla, upped the salt to 1/2 tsp, and subbed tsp. apple pie spice for cinnamon. thanks for the super easy recipe that was a great way to get rid of 3 lonely apples.

    • 17 years ago

    I made this in double with granny smith and red delicious apples. It did take a quite a long time to bake, but it turned out to be a surprise hit at a family party. I also sprinkled heath bits on top. Much more like sponge cake than brownies, but overall tasty and not-too-sweet.

    • 17 years ago

    Mine cooked fine in 35 minutes. I took suggestions from others and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top after cooking. Easy to make and very yummy!

    • 17 years ago

    Absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9X13 pan. I also left out the nuts and added a cup of mini chocolate chips. Because it was doubled I baked it for close to an hour. Will definitely make again!

    • 17 years ago

    These were very good! I used white whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and chopped apples. Mine began to get very brown, and I remembered that my oven cooks hot, and turned it down a bit.

    • 17 years ago

    These are so delicious — in apple season I am overwhelmed with apples & always looking for good recipes. This is great — just shred the apples for a better consistency and watch your brownies don’t overcook!

    • 17 years ago

    They were awesome. We just loved them and they were not hard to make either. My husband didn’t want to share them with anyone.

    • 17 years ago

    Super yum!! I thought it was a bit more cake-like than brownie, but when it tastes this good, who really cares? Thanks for the recipe. It is a keeper.

    • 17 years ago

    Really delicious treat. I followed one of the other user’s tip and added vanilla and nutmeg. Yum!

    • 17 years ago

    This was very simple to make. Lots of labor chopping apples though. The flavor was ok, the kids did not like at all. I had to cook it much longer than listed. I like the glazed apple cookies from this site much better.

    • 17 years ago

    after a few tries and adjustments with this recipe, it is absolutely one of my favorites. don’t get me wrong, it’s also great as is 🙂 but this is what i prefer – i double the recipe. i diced the apples and used 3 smaller granny smith and 1 golden delicious (what i had in the fridge). i only used 3/4 c butter rather than the full cup. i substituted oatmeal for the walnuts and then added a little extra (i love baking with oatmeal and it makes it a little healthier). i sprinkled some nutmeg in the batter as well, and then before baking, topped the pan with a little bit of white sugar, then a sprinkling of brown sugar. the pan took about 50-55 minutes to bake and is delicious! i look for reasons to make this recipe as often as possible, especially since most of the ingredients are easy to keep on hand.

    • 17 years ago

    Well, I made these yesterday. First off, I have no idea why this even has a suggestion of “blonde brownie” in it – it is no where close. The only similarity is that they are both in a pan and both cooked!

    Now, the flavor is just fine in these. But I would not bother doing them again – there are plenty of other better recipes to use up apples and walnuts in, in my opinion. It was very crumbly, would not hold together much. I was really disappointed that it was not more brownie-like, as in more compact.

    Again, the flavor is fine, but it is hard to totally mess up flavor with the brown sugar/apple/walnut combos. However, I didn’t like the recipe overall, and won’t make it again. 🙁

    • 17 years ago

    Excellent recipe… The whole family loved it..and for the first time, this was the star of the show..(Over our traditional choc brownies)..
    Served this with a buttermilk sauce..which complimented the apples..

    • 16 years ago

    These were so yummy and really easy to make. I took another reviewer’s suggestion and diced my apples. Dicing them means you get a bit of apple in every bite.

    • 16 years ago

    These are fast, easy, and taste great. Definitely a keeper. I followed recipe to the “T” and the brownies came out perfect. Thanks for sharing.

    • 16 years ago

    These were so moist and delicious. I omitted the walnuts and diced the apples. Rather than butter I used Olivio, a little less than 1/2 a cup. Next time I will probably cut back on the sugar a little, these are very sweet. While I was chopping the apples, 3 seemed like way too much but I added it all anyway and I am glad I did.

    • 16 years ago

    These are so moist and delicious! They’re so easy to make and the perfect amount of sweet. I will DEFINITELY be making these again. I might think about adding some caramel candies to the batter to make them caramel apple brownies.

    • 16 years ago

    These were a hit at a gathering with friends. I also doubled the receipe to make a 9×13 pan. I also just added the 1/2c of butter. Did not doulbed the butter and they were just as moist. It did take them about an hour to bake and were just a little difficult to cut out. They are so moist that they fall apart some. I will make these again. Thanks for sharing:)

    • 16 years ago

    I made a few changes, and it was a big hit:

    I did use applesauce instead of butter. I diced 2 apples instead of slicing 3 (I think people complained of it being too moist because the extra apple adds a lot of water). 1/4 of the flour I used was whole-grain. I only used 3/4 cup sugar. I added some nutmeg (1/2 tbsp is great).

    35 minutes in the oven was fine, and I let it cool uncovered so the steam came out. Everyone loved it, but they insisted on calling it “Apple Cake” because it has no chocolate, despite a lookup in the dictionary. I am glad that the no-fat, lower-sugar version was so tasty, and I’ll make this many times.

    • 16 years ago

    This was more like an apple cake or apple bread to me. Good flavor and of course we ate it all!! Just don’t let the word brownie fool you.

    • 16 years ago

    These were sooooo good. I kept eating them and there wasn’t any left because my dad loved them too. I saw that there wasn’t any extract in there, so I added 1 teaspoon of Maple flavoring and they were amazing. I don’t know what they taste like without that, but next time I make them I’m adding the maple again, which was a great combo with the apples!

    • 16 years ago

    This was amazing. Very moist and……addicting! I made an icing for the top and it was to die for. It didnt last long in my house.

    • 16 years ago

    I added 1cup dried cranberries, and omitted the nuts. It took a full hour to cook, and even then it seemed underdone in the middle, but the top was burning so i took it out anyway. It tasted delicious, but fell apart. I probably won’t make this again.

    • 15 years ago

    These are to die for!! I absolutely love them. They are incredibly moist which is very important to me. I ate them warm right out of the oven and drizzled caramel sauce over the top. Soooo good!

    • 15 years ago

    Followed the recipe as far as spice and ingredient amounts (I used Fuji apples), but I gave the apples a quick rough chop after slicing. Wonderful balanced flavor and very tender. I didn’t have a 9×9 so used an 8×8 and I think the smaller pan made the brownies a little too “moist” but the taste was fab! I will make this again–after I buy the appropriate pan size.

    • 15 years ago

    This is a really good apple recipe. I doubled and baked in 9×13 pan. I also creamed the butter and added 1 tsp vanilla. I used 5 Granny smith and chopped them. I was in doubt when the batter turned out very stiff, mostly apples, but boy! it turned out one of the best apple desserts I’ve had. Even my picky eater husband raved about it. Don’t be alarmed by the amount of apples. You need that amount to make the wonderful apple flavor and texture in the brownies. Wonderful!

    • 15 years ago

    Very good. Not exactly sure why it is called a brownie because the texture was like cake. Baked it for 40 minutes, 3/4 cup of sugar, and used a granny smith and a golden delicious apple.

    • 15 years ago

    These little apple bites were very good. I modified just a wee bit to suit our tastes by using 1/2 cup all purpose flour plus 1/2 cup minus 2 TBSP of whole grain flour. I also substituted 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar for the 1 cup white sugar. It was still plenty sweet, so I am going to cut the sugar to 1/2 cup packed brown sugar next time I bake these. I used 2 granny smith apples plus 1 cortland, diced, and I omitted the walnuts. These were modifications to suit our tastes, and we were very happy with the results. They came out very moist and delicious. One last note, I baked these in an 8×8 pan in a 350F oven for 45 minutes. They came out perfectly!

    • 15 years ago

    Great..My little girl loved it. Very moist but i would suggest that to reduce the sugar amount to 3/4 cups. 1 cup is abit too sweet cuz the apples have its own sweetness too. Thanks for sharing this.

    • 15 years ago

    too buttery for me – Although I didn’t use 3 apples, just two, so maybe that effected it? I’m not sure.

    • 15 years ago

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I followed a few other reviewers ideas and added 1 t of vanilla and 1/2 t of nutmeg and it was delicious! I topped this with a spice frosting, which was just white frosting mixed with some nutmeg and cinnamon. This is a truly amazing dessert that I will be making again and again!

    • 15 years ago

    Very good and easy recipe. Family loved it. I used two large granny smith apples and pecans instead of walnuts. I also reduce the amount of cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. because we do not like a strong cinnamon flavor. I will make this again.

    • 15 years ago

    My husband was a big fan of these and that’s saying something for someone who usually always asks for chocolate desserts. I used gala apples and they worked fine. More like a cake than brownies. Actually reminded my of Nana’s Apple Cake from Tastefully Simple only cheaper to make!

    • 15 years ago

    I first made this for a garage sale with proceeds going to WRT. It went over so well. Now I finally made it for myself & know why everyone was going so crazy over it. I used smart balance instead of butter. I used half brown sugar. I used aluminum-free baking powder & unbleached four w/half w.w.. Then apple-pie spice instead of cinnamon. Both times I made it though it did require longer baking time so I put aluminum foil all over it a & baked it for another 10-30mins. Thank-you for the recipe!

    • 15 years ago

    Made this for the family tonight and everyone LOVED it. Did just as the recipe stated except left out the nuts since we have an allergy.

    • 15 years ago

    hi,this is my first review on this site ,i’m 14 years old & i love baking. i would like to thank you for this great recipe,i rate 4 stars because i made few modifications on it 1.i used 1/4 cup butter & 1/4 cup unsweetend applesauce(according to its an apple brownie there must be some applesauce in it !!:)2. i used 3/4 cup of sugar but it was a bit sweet for us(next time i’ll go for 1/2 cup)3.It NEEDS more than 35 min in the oven i baked it for 45 min (& my mom thought it needed more),finally i only used 9 raisines for decoration purpose!& i ommited the nuts & increased the cinnamon to 1 1/2tsp,it really looks like all apple before baking & it made 16 awesome bars,but otherwise it was WONDERFUL,next time i’ll try it with 1/2 cup sugar & 1/2 cup applesauce & no butter,& replace 1/2 cup of the wheat with whole-wheat flour,add 1/4 tsp of vanilla to get rid of egg smell(although it had none!)I’ll, add nuts,raisins,& bake for maybe 55min.but any way my familly loved it even my grandmother.I WAS TOO PROUD THAT MY MOM ASKED FOR THE RECIPE TO ENROLL IN HER “TRIED & TRUSTED RECIPES”,thanx again for sharing this lovely recipe…:)

    • 15 years ago

    These were a big hit. I dusted them with cinnamon sugar when they came out of the oven. YUM!

    • 15 years ago

    These are really moist and tasty. Didn’t stay together as I thought they would but, hey, who cares? Good enough to overlook that and it may have been that I added a bit more apple. Will definitely make again (and again).

    • 15 years ago

    Excellent buttery taste even when you substitute half butter and applesauce in place of the 1/2 c butter. I diced the apples as others suggested. This needed to bake just a little longer than the recipe states for me. I also found that the sugar can be cut back to 3/4 c, and it still tastes great. This has become a family favorite.

    • 15 years ago

    I made these with apples just picked at the orchard – so yummy! I told a friend about them, she made them and raved, too!

    • 15 years ago

    My family loved this recipe i ajusted it a bit I used a glass baking dish and I used 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar I also used macintosh apples we have just picked and it came out great!!!!!

    • 15 years ago

    THESE WERE NOT BROWNIES!!!! i was really disappointed because i was looking forward all week long to apple brownies….but this is a great apple muffin cake, so i had to give it 4 stars.

    • 15 years ago

    The key to a denser, more brownie-like bar is to NOT whip the egg mixture. The fluffier it is, the more cake-like the finished product will be. I melted the butter and just stirred in the sugar and egg until well-combined. Very good! Could use some extra spices, perhaps. Thanks!!

    • 15 years ago

    Holy apple goodness…I made these at my husbands request as I do not like cooked apples..the only thing I changed was I doubled the recipe and subbed half applesauce and half butter, I just had one and even though I dont care for cooked apples, this had to be the best apple tasting cake ever…next time I will not beat the eggs as another reviewer suggested to make them more brownie like..

    • 15 years ago

    The flavor was really exceptional, but they just fell apart. I can’t figure out what I did wrong. I just disguised them under some vanilla ice cream when serrving. I would love to make again if anyone has any tips on how to make the ingredients gel together better. I used diced granny smith apples and topped the batter with cinnamon sugar before baking.

    • 15 years ago

    These are great!!!! they did take alittle longer than 35 mins,closer to 45.

    • 15 years ago

    I thought this recipe was good. It tastes just like apple cake to me. The only thing I don’t like is that it falls apart when you try to take a piece out of the pan. I may have used bigger apples than I should have and ended up with too much. ? But otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and it’s good.

    • 15 years ago

    I found tese to be delicious as well. Not exactly brownies but along those lines. I messed around with the recipe myself. My changes involved doubling the batch, adding only 3/4 of the total sweetener and I used a combination of white and brown sugars with about 1/2 C of Splenda. I also added 2 more apples which I sliced on the side of a grater. I also added nutmeg and more baking soda and powder than was called for. The result was sensational served warm with ice cream. I had mine as bars sans the ice cream. They were a bit tender but held their shape better than expected. In that way they were like brownies. They are very buttery and I like that!

    • 15 years ago

    I made this for my wife tonight 10/20/09 and she loved it,so did my daughter and I. Added 1tsp vanilla and doubled the cinnamon,baked 350 for 40 minutes. When I removed it from the oven I dusted the top with cinnamon sugar.I used 3 freshly picked apples from NC 2-golden delicious and 1 red delicious. My wife wants me to add more apples next time. This is a great brownie/cake. It did fall apart…….but who cares!!!!!It is delicious…

    • 15 years ago

    Delicious! My alterations: Doubled recipe to 24 (bake in 9×13) Sugar= 1-1/2 cups Subbed 1 cup white flour for whole wheat Added cup of oatmeal 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/2 cup butter & subbed other half with a kids lunchbox size applesauce. I’ve made these several times and no matter what subs you use, they are great!

    • 15 years ago

    Absolutely delicious!! This was very simple! I thought I had messed up but it turned out PERFECT! Definetly add the cinnamon topping, it made a delicious golden crust on top.

    • 15 years ago

    So moist and easy! I will make this again and again!

    • 15 years ago

    Delicious….!!!my mom is an Apple pie fan..she tasted those apple brownies and sais were perfect..<3

    • 15 years ago

    The misleadiing name alone makes this very disappointing because, unlike other reviewers, it DID matter to me whether or not these were brownies. I wanted these for a work function, where dealing with a too moist cake that doesn’t stay in one piece wasn’t an option. While the flavor is good, there’s a fine line between being pleasantly moist and so moist it falls apart and borders on soggy. I would call this an “excessively moist” apple cake, not an apple brownie.

    • 15 years ago

    My family loves this recipe! I too recommend chopping the apples but 35 minutes in my oven is perfect every time. I guess my oven is hotter like BakerJim

    • 15 years ago

    Stunning! I love apple pie, but never liked apple cake because it wasn’t moist enough– this takes care of that. Super easy to make, and soooo delicious.

    • 15 years ago

    Very good. Nice and moist. More walnuts would have made it even better.

    • 15 years ago

    Very good. Very moist. Easy to make and a nice change from chocolate brownies.

    • 15 years ago

    These brownies were so good! I made a caramel sauce to pour over the top and they paired perfectly with vanilla ice cream.

    • 15 years ago

    SO good! made this for the first time tonight, the only things i did differently were to add more apples and dice them into large chunks. i also tossed them with cinnamon, sugar, and flour before mixing them into the batter and that kept them from sinking. baked for about 50 minutes at 350. really really good! i love apple pie, but don’t like store bought crust and am not very good at making my own, this is the perfect alternative. thanks so much for sharing!!

    • 14 years ago

    great! Modifications- 8×8 pan, pecans and had to bake it for a bit longer.

    • 14 years ago

    i was really nervous about making these because i’ve never used apples in anything before, but they came out great! i omitted the walnuts because i didn’t have any. i’m really proud of myself! these really are easy to make!

    • 14 years ago

    These “brownies” taste so good! I toss the diced apples in cinnamon before folding them into the dough. mm mm good!

    • 14 years ago

    I doubled the recipe, only put in 1 1/2 cups of sliced Gala apples, added 1 cup of Nestle Premiere White Chips, put in a 9×13 pan, and baked for 40 minutes. Do not use apples with alot of juice in them, because during baking it will rise and over flow the pan. That was my first try. Now I have it perfected. It was great. Everyone asks for the recipe!

    • 14 years ago

    I make an apple cake that is very similar. The only real difference is this recipe calls for butter instead of oil. The butter makes it way more dense..like a brownie, not a cake (go figure). It was a very tasty recipe and I liked it a lot.

    • 14 years ago

    Enjoying this so much as we speak! Oh my gosh the sides are crispy the texture is perfect… One word, YUMMY. Very easy, I followed one reviewers advice and just creamed the butter and sugar. Now, I was short one apple, so I had to get creative and replaced that amount with sweet potato! Perfect. Also drizzled it with a powdered sugar glaze. Wow!

    • 14 years ago

    This is more like an apple pie bar than a brownie. Very delicious none the less.

    • 14 years ago

    These were delicious!! Don’t be afraid if when you are mixing it looks as though you have way too many apples and too little batter. It is supposed to look like this and will turn out great once you let the cake do its thing in the oven!

    • 14 years ago

    My 12 year old daughter made these. She says 4 stars because the title led her to believe there would be chocolate involved, and because there isn’t, they should be called APPLE BLONDIES. I’m still chuckling over that one. Boy, was she miffed. But they are very moist and yummy as promised. Easy and quick to mix up. She chose to bake them as individual ‘brownies’, using a twelve cup muffin pan. Took about the same 35 minutes of bake time. I think these will be making a repeat appearance soon, despite no chocolate 😀

    • 14 years ago

    Super simple and super tasty!

    I am so disappointed with this recipe. Not at all what I expected even after reading the trouble other reviewers had. I followed the recipe exactly and mine were in the oven for an hour and were still under done. It turned out like a strange cobbler than anything else. I won’t be making this again.

    These came out way too buttery! Otherwise the brownies were very moist and crumbly; great texture but the flavor was hardly of apple at all. I used an 8×8 pan and had to increase the bake time by 20 minutes.

    These were delicious. I had to baked them for about 40 to 45 minutes longer. I did check them after 35 minutes, but felt they needed more time. My family ate 1/2 of the pan after I had let them cool off. Would be great with a scoop of ice cream. They used cool whip. A keeper!! 5 stars

    It is a simple and good recipe! I read the reviews while the pan was in the oven and was nervous that it turned out soggy or too sweet. I used an 8×8 round aluminum pan and kept it in the oven for about an hour and a half after inserting a toothpick several times. I crushed the apples because I don’t like to feel the pieces of apple and still turned out good. Next time I’ll probably use only 2 or 2and a half apples, although I really liked how it turned out! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

    These truly are delicious! I made them in muffin tins like CC’s photo, they were a bit hard to get out since they didn’t want to stay together. Next time I think I’ll try them in a mini-muffin tin. I wish they were easier to handle, like a pick-up and eat treat- they’re a little too soft and fall-apart. But other than that they re great. I just warmed one up with some yogurt mixed with honey drizzled over top. YUM!
