By far, one of the most popular recipes on this site is my perfect blondies.  Coming in a very close second is perfect brownies.  Both of these recipes are made in a bread loaf pan to make just two servings.  Not that I couldn’t answer a craving for brownies by eating an entire 9x13" pan, but I know I shouldn’t.  Two large squares of dense buttery sweetness is just the thing. I had a 5-gallon bucket of apples in the basement for a few weeks before the idea of an apple blondie came to me.  It seems, in the midWest, that apples in the fall are like zucchinis in the summer:  everyone’s got ’em and everyone’s looking for a person to dump ’em on.  I gladly accepted.  So far, I made caramel apple cookie cups, several batches of apple butter (in the crock pot!), and these brownies. File these under the tab ‘desserts with fruit that Mr. Dessert For Two actually likes.’
