As American as Apple Pie





Apple Nut Brownies


I had the urge to bake today. 

I looked through my files and came across a recipe for Apple Nut Brownies. Apples seemed sort of autumnal, but then I thought what's more American than a good ol' apple pie for the Fourth of July. Why not give these a try?! 



I looked at the notation on my recipe card. Given by Mandy - mother of 5 kids. God bless Mandy.


                    


You would NOT believe how delicious this dessert is! Serve while it's still warm with a scoop of ice cream. I'm eating it with peppermint ice cream and believe it or not this combination is incredibly good. Wowza! Talk about a taste sensation!! 

I'd call this recipe Apple "Pie" Brownies because that's exactly what it tastes like - apple pie. But, to avoid any confusion, I'll stick with its original name.
