CHEWY APPLE BROWNIES
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Yield: 9 servings
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, softened
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon each: baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium baking apples, peeled, cored, chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Vanilla glaze:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon hot water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan; set aside.
2. Beat margarine, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla in large bowl of
electric mixer until light and fluffy. Combine dry ingredients and add to
egg mixture. Mix until flour is moistened; fold in apples and nuts.
3. Spread into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
4. For glaze, combine glaze ingredients and mix until smooth. Drizzle over
cooled brownies in a thin stream, forming a woven pattern. Let glaze set
before cutting brownies. Serve brownies warm with frozen yogurt or at room
temperature. Kay Fitzgerald, Wind Lake, Wis.
A-The chewy texture that gives these unusual brownies their name is,
unfortunately, fat-dependent. However, I found that by adding some oats to
the dry mixture I was able to achieve satisfactory results. I used
applesauce to replace some of the fat, and toasted the nuts to give them
more flavor so half the amount was plenty.
