Instructions

Apple Filling

In a medium pot over low heat, combine apples, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 11×7-inch baking dish with baking spray.

In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time until combined. Mix in salt and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients.

Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Spoon the cooled apple filling evenly over the batter.

Carefully spread remaining batter over the apple layer.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Maple Glaze

In a small saucepan, melt butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice over medium heat.

Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.

Spread glaze evenly over cooled bars. Allow glaze to set before slicing.

Notes

Finely chopping the apples helps create even layers and clean slices.

Bars taste even better the next day once flavors meld.

Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days.
