APPLE WALNUT BROWNIES

adapted from :    anncoojournal.com

Ingredient A :

120  gm  butter

180  gm  semi-sweet chocolate,  chop to pieces

Ingredient B :

2  eggs  (I use grade A)

60  gm  brown sugar

1  tsp  vanilla essence

Ingredient C :

70  gm  self-raising flour

1/2  tsp  cinnamon powder

Ingredient D :

60  gm  walnut,  toasted & break into half

1  green Granny Smith apple,  remove the skin & chop to large cubes

Chocolate Ganache :

100  gm  Whipping Cream  (I use Dairy)

150  gm  semi-sweet chocolate,  chop to pieces

Method :

1.  Preheat oven to 160'C.  A rectangle cake pan or 8-inch square pan, lined all sides up.  Set aside.

2.  Cook (A) butter and semi-sweet cooking chocolate over low heat till melted.  Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

3.  Place (B) eggs, sugar and vanilla essence in a mixing bowl and beat till fluffy and add in (A), stir till well combined.  (or just a hand whisk to whisk the eggs and sugar together).

4.  Add in (C) self-raising flour, cinnamon powder and (D) walnut and chopped green apple, mix well incorporated and pour into prepared cake pan.

5.  Bake in preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes till done and leave cake to cool.  Best to chill brownie for at least 1 hour for easy spreading of ganache cream.

6.  Chocolate Ganache :   Lightly boil whipping cream at medium low fire and add in the chopped chocolate pieces and blend well till chocolate melted over a double-boiler.   Let cool and spread onto cake.

7.  You may apply 2-3 layers of ganache cream if you want a thicker chocolate cream...
