CHOCOLATE APPLE BROWNIES

This is an excellent recipe for brownies, but the diced apple is a perfect addition to take your brownies up a notch.  The recipe is another one from the big fat red juicy Apple Cook Book.  

By the time my 3 - hour shift was over at Hillcrest Thrift Shop on Tuesday, the platter was clean.  Well, almost clean....there were a few crumbs.  I couldn't wait to get home and eat one of the two I had set aside for my husband and me.

I may never make brownies again by any other recipe.

1         cup flour

Stir in chocolate mixture and beat well.









Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Add dry ingredients to mixture and stir til combined.

Add apples

nuts,

and last the vanilla.
