📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.

4. 4In a large bowl, whisk together browned butter and brown sugar for about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
5. 5Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in chopped apples.
6. 6Spread thick batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. 7Allow to cool before slicing into squares.
