SKINNY APPLE BROWNIES RECIPE (AKA APPLE NUT BARS)

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center and preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Grease an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan. (Or for easy cleanup, since these apple brownies are a bit sticky, line a pan with foil and grease the foil.)
• Place the butter in a mixing bowl and beat it with an electric mixer on medium until creamy.
• Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy.
• Stir in the chopped apples and nuts.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Gently stir the flour mixture into the apple mixture. (The batter will be very thick.)
• Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cut into 16 squares.

• Bake 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
