Preparation

Step 1

for 8 apple brownies:
preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Generously butter a 6 x 10 inch glass baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt baking powder and soda.

In a separate bowl, using a wire whisk, mix the sugar, melted butter, egg and almond extract until pale. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined. Add apple chunks and stir just to combine and evenly distribute.

Spread the brownie dough into the buttered baking dish. Place an apple slice on top of each brownie (there will be 8 once they’re cut.)

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden and just set. Don’t over-bake. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes before cutting into 8 even bars. Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar. These will keep in an air-tight container for 5 days.

for cream cheese frosting:

Mix until very smooth using an electric mixer. Frost cooled cake generously between layers.

for the Cinnamon Milk Icing:

Combine all until smooth. Drizzle over the apple brownies. Store the rest in the refrigerator.
