Hi - I was wondering if I can sneak some chopped apples into a recipe for brownies

[dawnnys]

not only to make them healthier, but also to use up some of these apples! Like using applesauce in place of oil - can I do that with fresh apples, too?

Dawn, do you have a dehydrator?

I have "The Ultimate Brownie Book" by Bruce Weinstein and he suggests chopped dried apples.

I've seen a few recipes on the net using fresh apples - here's one:

or could you try grating them and mixing in?

 

[mistral]

Yeah, I would use shredded or make blondies, sans choc. chips and put in . . .

lots of shredded apples and maybe some walnuts. mmmmm, good.

Thanks girls... I think I"ll shred them... good recipe, Meryl.

Yes, but I think shredding them might add some moisture. Thanks though!
