Apple Cake with Maple Sauce

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Apple Filling 2
  • large apples, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Maple Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 11×7-inch pan with foil (or spray with cooking spray).

Apple Filling:

Over medium-low heat, cook apple filling mixture for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Brownies:

Beat butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until well combined.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add salt and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add wet ingredients and mix until combined.

In the bottom of the pan, spread half of the brownie batter evenly using a spatula (or your hands—the batter is very thick, so I prefer to spread it with my hands).

Spread apple filling evenly over the entire layer.

Spread remaining brownie batter evenly over top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
