Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside for later use.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the apple butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before slicing into 8 portions.
- Serve the brownies with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Storage
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
