I have these baking right now, but I can already tell they are going to be awesome. I followed the recipe except I used powdered cocoa and shortening instead of the baking chocolate because that's all I had on hand. I melted those things in a small sauce pan with the butter (used smart balance) then mixed that in with the sugar in a bowl. mixed in 3 eggs worth of egg beaters and vanilla with a beater then mixed in the flour and nuts (walnuts). Definitely use a 9x9 or 8x8 square pan. 9x13 would be way too large. The batter tasted EXCELLENT! I've made a lot of brownie recipes from this site and none of them are every very good. I think this one might be the winner!

I tried cutting the butter in half as some reviewers recommended. I don't think that is necessary. I think I will make this again and leave the recipe exactly as is. I used 8 apples but they were small ones. I also used quick cooking oats. Very Very good!
