Apple Doodle Brownie

What is this apple doodle brownie you speak of? Well I will tell you (side note: whenever I say apple doodle brownie I can't help but get that Yankee Doodle song stuck in my head...and now it is probably stuck in yours..).

A few days ago I was putting together a recipe for an apple cake because I have way too many apples in my fridge right now (this is because I bought a big bag of red delicious apples and then I found out my husband does not like those..so I bought a big bag of gala apples which he does like but not enough to eat them all day every day). Because of this over abundance of apples the apple cake was made. However, according to one of my friends it did not taste like an apple cake. Instead it tasted like a cross between an apple cake, a snickerdoodle cookie, and a brownie. Hence the name, apple doodle brownie, was coined. It just so happens to also be DELICIOUS.

Here is the recipe for this yummy new creation. Hope you enjoy! 

Apple Doodle Brownie 

Preheat oven to 350 F, grease an 8x8 cake pan

Ingredients:

2 medium size apples (grated)

1 cup gluten free oat flour

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/3 cup coconut oil (softened not melted)

2 eggs

2 tsp baking spice (this is a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, and ginger) 

1 tsp baking powder

the juice of 1/2 of a lemon 

Directions:

In a mixing bowl of KitchenAid mixer, grate in the two apples. Then add in the sugar, oil, and eggs. Mix together. Next squeeze in the lemon juice. Add in the cinnamon, baking spice, flour and baking powder. Do not over mix but make sure everything is completely incorporated into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and place in the middle of the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 8 minutes before transferring to wire cooling rack to cool completely. (I just flip the pan onto the rack and the cake usually come out after a few good taps). 

Enjoy!
