They’re too old or even mealy.

That attitude can change in a hurry. I’ve seen it in my own house. Grate a couple of apples, throw them into the brownie batter and all of a sudden, your family members are nicey-nicey.

Of course you can use crisp, fresh apples in this recipe. And I like to chop dried apples and sprinkle them on the top of the brownies, too.

Either way, this recipe is a quick fix.

Prep time: 10 minutes
