Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. Toast the pecan pieces in a small pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
  4. Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in the egg.
  5. Gradually add flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in apples and pecans gently to avoid crushing them.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, until edges are golden and center is set.
  9. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
