Ingredients

• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup caramel sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.

Step 3

Whisk in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Set aside.

Step 6

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the apple slices with the ground cinnamon, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 7

Layer the caramelized apple slices evenly over the brownie batter in the pan.

Step 8

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple layer, saving a small portion for garnish after baking if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Optional: Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
