Apple Brownies

This was my Mom's recipe. Easy and quick to make. Apples and walnuts are packed into a cinnamon spiced blonde brownie. Always a hit when I bring it to parties. Very moist and great to make in the fall when apples are plentiful

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
