Ingredients

• 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup apple butter
• 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, allowing the foil to extend 2 inches over the rim. Spray the foil with nonstick spray.

3. 3

   Combine the chocolate and butter in a medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds, untilt he chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Combine the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl. Set both mixtures aside.

4. 4

   With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until thick, 3-4 minutes. Add the chocolate mixture and apple butter, beating until blended. Add the flour mixture, beating just until blended.

5. 5

   Scrape the batter in the baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with moist crumbs clinging to it, 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack. Holding the foil, lift the brownies from the pan. If making ahead, wrap and freeze up to 1 month. Let thaw at room terperature, about 2 hours. Peel of the foil and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 24 bars.
