Fall Apple Brownies with Maple Glaze

Easy fall apple brownies with maple glaze. Soft texture, fresh apples and quick prep. A warm dessert for autumn gatherings.

I wanted to bring a warm autumn treat back into my kitchen and these apple brownies hit that mark for my family. The mix of tender apples and a soft brownie style base gave us a dessert that felt comforting without any fuss. The maple glaze pulled everything together in a way that made each bite worth slowing down for.

I like this recipe because the steps stay simple and the flavor rewards you. The apples stay soft and the maple glaze adds a rich finish that tastes clean and honest. My family asked for seconds before I even sat down at the table, and that says a lot about how the dish turned out.

You will enjoy this dessert if you want an easy bake that feels right for the season. I make this often when the weather cools and it always brings good reactions at home. The quick prep makes it a strong choice for busy days and the flavor brings a bit of comfort that fits the time of year.

Questions you may have about this recipe

Can I use any type of apple?
Choose firm apples so the pieces hold their shape. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp work well.

Can I use store bought maple syrup?
Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.

Will the glaze set?
It sets once it cools a little, but it stays soft enough to enjoy with a fork.

Can I bake this in a metal pan?
Use the same time and size.

Can I freeze the brownies?
Wrap each piece and freeze for up to two months.
