Recipe Introduction


Q: Several years ago you printed a recipe for a brownie-like bar with the consistency of apple cake. It used a lot of chopped fresh apples. I never thought I would be one of those people whose newspaper copy disappeared, but here I am. Is it possible to get the recipe?

A: The recipe dates to August 1999, and came from Rochelle Lewis of Pembroke Pines, who said she'd been making it for more than 25 years. This has become an often-baked recipe at my house. I add raisins or dried cranberries sometimes, and like to serve the brownies warm, with a scoop of ice cream melting lusciously on top.

Extra pieces freeze well for an impromptu after-school snack. I wrap each brownie tightly in plastic so it can be warmed in the microwave, right from the freezer. Microwave ovens vary, but a good guide is 2 minutes on low.
