I adapted this from an apple brownie recipe on Allrecipes.

I cut back the apples by 1 and used brown sugar instead of white. It was delicious!

Apple Cinnamon Cake

Makes 16 Servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease an 8x8 pan.
Whisk melted butter with brown sugar and the egg until fluffy. This won't even take a minute.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir with a rubber spatula until well combined. It'll be a bit thick.
Stir in the apples and walnuts. It looks like a lot of apple right? Imagine adding 3 like the original recipe said? It might be a bit much. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool before cutting into 16 squares.
