REDNECK RITA TAKES A BREAKThis is a recipe for delicious apple brownies. They are made with tart Granny Smith apples, they have toasted pecans and white raisins in there too. It is unbelievable how good something so simple to make can be.
No mixer, no mess. Lots of raves though.
Apple Brownies
2/3 c butter (soft but not melted)
1 c brown sugar
1 c white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/3 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 cored and chopped tart apple (Granny Smith) leave the peel on
1 c coursly chopped pecans (toast in microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stir several times, watch closely not to burn.
1/2 c white rasins
1/2 c white rasins
1 1/2 c flour
Heat oven to 350 degrees, spray Pam in a 7X11 baking pan, or about that size.
Mix butter and sugars, add vanilla and eggs and beat with spoon. Mix flour, salt, baking powder together and add to first mixture. Stir until mixed, then add apples, rasins and pecans.
Pour batter in pan, bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until done in the center. Check center with tooth pick, it should come out clean.
ICING
3/4 c powder sugar
Juice of one lemon
Mix together and drizzle over top of warm brownies.
Let them cool in pan for about 15 minutes, then cut into squares and remove from pan with spatula. They will crumble a little but you can lightly press them together and when they cool they will be neat looking. Let cool completely on a rack. These freeze well. I always double the recipe because they will go fast.
