Brownie Batter
- 1 box brownie mix (about 18.3 oz)
- Ingredients called for on the brownie mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
Add-ins
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a bowl, combine the diced apples with the ground cinnamon to evenly coat them, allowing the flavors to meld while preparing the batter.
- Make the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the brownie batter, mixing the required eggs, oil, and water along with the brownie mix until smooth.
- Incorporate Apples: Gently fold the cinnamon-coated apples into the prepared brownie batter, ensuring even distribution without overmixing to keep some texture.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweetness of the brownies.
- Adjust cinnamon amount according to your spice preference.
- Check doneness early to avoid overbaking, as apples add moisture to the batter.
- These brownies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For gluten-free option, use a gluten-free brownie mix.
