Applesauce Brownies Recipe

MMMMMMMMMMM! Another sweet treat that I beg ya to find anyone who doesn't love ‘em!
My brother Bob used to make wonderful homemade applesauce brownies, and fudge brownies too that would knock your socks off. The very thought of eating all those super yummy mouthfuls makes me salivate.
There are lots of variations to applesauce brownie recipes, so if ya want, you can get real creative, but they all start pretty much the same.
I’m hungry, so let’s get right to baking these little beauties!

Applesauce Brownies Preparation:
First butter a 9 by 13 inch glass, or metal pan REAL GOOD!

Preheat oven to 355 degrees, (DO IT NOW so your oven will be ready when you are.)

An’ make sure your oven racks are IN THE MIDDLE, (Why? Because Applesauce Brownies aren't too good when they turn out doughy on top, an’ burnt on the bottom, that’s why.)

Applesauce Brownies Ingredients:

6 Tbsp. butter or margarine
(Use butter, it tastes much better, you don't always need to worry about counting calories.)
1 -1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 -1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Orange frosting (optional; recipe follows)
Orange zest (optional)

Applesauce Brownies Recipe Directions:

Melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar; then stir in applesauce, egg, and vanilla. In another larger bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and nutmeg; add applesauce mixture and blend thoroughly. Add raisins and nuts; stir until well combined.

Spread batter evenly in a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Bake applesauce brownies in a 355 degrees oven for 26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let brownies cool completely in pan on a rack. If desired, prepare orange frosting and spread over cooled brownie; then garnish with orange zest. Cut applesauce brownies into 2 inch squares. Store brownies covered.

This applesauce brownies recipe make about 20 pieces.

Orange Frosting Directions:
In a small bowl and your electric mixer, beat together until smooth; 1 -3/4 cups powdered sugar; 2 -1/2 tablespoons butter (softened), 2 tablespoons of milk; and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel. If necessary, beat in a few more drops milk to make a good spreading consistency.
