aunt essie's apple brownies
Aunt Essie was my great-aunt. I don't know why she called these 'brownies,' unless it's because they are cut into squares. They have been in my family for years. They are light, not too sweet, and the perfect accompaniment for your morning coffee or afternoon tea.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
These are the ultimate apple brownies with just the right amount of apples and spice. Once baked, the sugary top cracks just like traditional brownies. The gooey center has chunks of apples in every bite. We tried them warm with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel and they were decadent. But, they're delicious on their own too.
