The Most Amazing Turtle Brownies

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

TaineAH, thanks for that idea! I will definitely try adding unsweetened cocoa powder next time I make these. I usually think they are a little sweeter than I needed them to be, and that would probably help a lot!

To die for! I was going through my family’s recipe box to put our recipes on here, and my Aunt Ann uses this same recipe for her turtle brownies. One additional, optional thing she adds to the recipe: 2 Tbsps dry unsweetened cocoa powder. It. Is. AWESOME.

I have made this same recipe for 35 years now and it is so easy to change up—I use caramel from a tub located in the produce section next to the apples instead of melting caramels–I hate to unwrap the sticky caramels–sometimes I put Heath pieces inside or white choclate chips or mint chips–so many ways to customize–I even added instant coffee granules to the batter–amazing ways to change it up! No one drinks instant coffee here but I buy it for frosting, cakes, and to enrich ice cream drinks–like they to to be richer! Leslie
