Excellent buttery taste even when you substitute half butter and applesauce in place of the 1/2 c butter. I diced the apples as others suggested. This needed to bake just a little longer than the recipe states for me. I also found that the sugar can be cut back to 3/4 c, and it still tastes great. This has become a family favorite.

These are really moist and tasty. Didn't stay together as I thought they would but, hey, who cares? Good enough to overlook that and it may have been that I added a bit more apple. Will definitely make again (and again).

These were a big hit. I dusted them with cinnamon sugar when they came out of the oven. YUM!

I first made this for a garage sale with proceeds going to WRT. It went over so well. Now I finally made it for myself & know why everyone was going so crazy over it. I used smart balance instead of butter. I used half brown sugar. I used aluminum-free baking powder & unbleached four w/half w.w.. Then apple-pie spice instead of cinnamon. Both times I made it though it did require longer baking time so I put aluminum foil all over it a & baked it for another 10-30mins. Thank-you for the recipe!

My husband was a big fan of these and that's saying something for someone who usually always asks for chocolate desserts. I used gala apples and they worked fine. More like a cake than brownies. Actually reminded my of Nana's Apple Cake from Tastefully Simple only cheaper to make!

Very good and easy recipe. Family loved it. I used two large granny smith apples and pecans instead of walnuts. I also reduce the amount of cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. because we do not like a strong cinnamon flavor. I will make this again.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I followed a few other reviewers ideas and added 1 t of vanilla and 1/2 t of nutmeg and it was delicious! I topped this with a spice frosting, which was just white frosting mixed with some nutmeg and cinnamon. This is a truly amazing dessert that I will be making again and again!

too buttery for me - Although I didn't use 3 apples, just two, so maybe that effected it? I'm not sure.

Great..My little girl loved it. Very moist but i would suggest that to reduce the sugar amount to 3/4 cups. 1 cup is abit too sweet cuz the apples have its own sweetness too. Thanks for sharing this.

These little apple bites were very good. I modified just a wee bit to suit our tastes by using 1/2 cup all purpose flour plus 1/2 cup minus 2 TBSP of whole grain flour. I also substituted 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar for the 1 cup white sugar. It was still plenty sweet, so I am going to cut the sugar to 1/2 cup packed brown sugar next time I bake these. I used 2 granny smith apples plus 1 cortland, diced, and I omitted the walnuts. These were modifications to suit our tastes, and we were very happy with the results. They came out very moist and delicious. One last note, I baked these in an 8x8 pan in a 350F oven for 45 minutes. They came out perfectly!

Very good. Not exactly sure why it is called a brownie because the texture was like cake. Baked it for 40 minutes, 3/4 cup of sugar, and used a granny smith and a golden delicious apple.

This is a really good apple recipe. I doubled and baked in 9x13 pan. I also creamed the butter and added 1 tsp vanilla. I used 5 Granny smith and chopped them. I was in doubt when the batter turned out very stiff, mostly apples, but boy! it turned out one of the best apple desserts I've had. Even my picky eater husband raved about it. Don't be alarmed by the amount of apples. You need that amount to make the wonderful apple flavor and texture in the brownies. Wonderful!

Followed the recipe as far as spice and ingredient amounts (I used Fuji apples), but I gave the apples a quick rough chop after slicing. Wonderful balanced flavor and very tender. I didn't have a 9x9 so used an 8x8 and I think the smaller pan made the brownies a little too "moist" but the taste was fab! I will make this again--after I buy the appropriate pan size.

These are to die for!! I absolutely love them. They are incredibly moist which is very important to me. I ate them warm right out of the oven and drizzled caramel sauce over the top. Soooo good!

I added 1cup dried cranberries, and omitted the nuts. It took a full hour to cook, and even then it seemed underdone in the middle, but the top was burning so i took it out anyway. It tasted delicious, but fell apart. I probably won't make this again.
