Description

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degree F or 180 degree C.
• Lightly butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray 8x8 inch baking pan.
• Line it with parchment paper with sides up. So it will be easy to lift up after it bakes.
• Again butter or spray the parchment paper. Keep it aside.
• Take all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Mix it well and keep it aside till needed.
• Take butter and chocolate in a bowl. Melt in the microwave for 40 seconds. (You can melt them by using double boiler method.)
• They are melted but by look they are not melted totally. Then whisk it with wire whisk till it gets smooth.
• Take apple sauce and sugar in large enough bowl. Whisk it till sugar dissolves. Then add hot water and vanilla extract. Mix it well.
• Then add melted chocolate.
• Whisk it well till it gets incorporated well. Do not over beat it because we don’t want to get air in the batter (because we want chewy brownie not like cake)
• Then add dry ingredients. And mix it with spatula till combined.
• Pour the batter into prepared pan. Even it out with butter knife and tap the pan on counter top few times to get rid of air bubbles.
• Bake it into preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check it by inserting a toothpick in the center and it will come with few moist crumbs.
• Let the brownie cool completely in the pan on wire rack. As it cools it will deflate a bit. But don’t worry it is perfectly fine.
• Then pop it into the refrigerator for 1 hour before cutting.
• Then remove brownie out of the pan with the help of parchment paper.
• And cut them into 9 equal pieces or as per your desire size and serve.
