Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peeled cored, and chopped apples (½” pieces)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cups dark brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Cook the chopped apples, ground cinnamon, and dark brown sugar in a frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened. Transfer the apples to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and prepare an 8×8” pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, folding together until almost fully mixed, then add in the cooled apples and their juices, mixing gently until incorporated.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Take care not to overbake!
- Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
Notes
Ensure the apples are chopped into small, uniform pieces for even cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days for best freshness.
Experiment with adding nuts or raisins for extra flavor and texture.
