Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Apple (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Let the butter and sugar mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting them into squares.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
