About

These brownies are great for the Christmas holidays which is only about 5 weeks away.  A very quick and easy Brownie that is packed with green apples and walnuts, moist and yummy. The Brownie cake is very easy to make and you'll only need a hand whisk, a rubber spatula and within 15 minutes, the batter is ready for baking.  You can also use the cake mixer machine to whisk up the eggs and sugar till fluffy and use a rubber spatula to do mixing after that. If you're lazy to use the cake mixer, then use the hand whisk to do the job instead. Hope you'll enjoy this sweet treat as much as I do ♥
