The apples should be crisp and juicy. This adds moisture and sweetness without sugar. I prefer almond flour for its nutty taste and gluten-free nature. Unsweetened cocoa powder gives rich flavor.

In a large bowl, combine the grated apples, unsweetened applesauce, and eggs. I like to use a whisk to mix these ingredients well. Make sure everything blends together smoothly. This mixture gives your brownies moisture and flavor. Now, grab another bowl to sift together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Sifting helps mix the dry ingredients evenly. This step is key for a good texture in your brownies. Slowly add the dry mix to the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your brownies tender. Once mixed, pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean. After baking, let your brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares for serving.

Mixing the wet and dry ingredients gently is key. Overmixing can make brownies tough. Bake them until a toothpick comes out clean, but don't overbake. One common mistake is using too much cocoa powder. Stick to the recipe to keep the balance right. Another mistake is not measuring the apples correctly. Too few apples can make the brownies dry. Also, ensure your oven is preheated before baking. This helps brownies rise and cook evenly. For serving, consider dusting your brownies with cocoa powder or cinnamon. This adds a nice touch. You can also add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream. Want a twist? Serve them warm with fresh apple slices.

This way, you can create a sugar-free brownie that suits you. For a crunchy texture, add nuts like walnuts or pecans. Chopped nuts bring flavor and health benefits. Mix in about half a cup for a delightful surprise in each bite. If you love chocolate, try adding sugar-free chocolate chips. They melt beautifully and enhance the chocolate taste of the brownies. Spices can take your brownies to the next level. Add a dash of nutmeg or a bit more cinnamon for warmth. For an extra layer of flavor, consider using almond or maple extract. Just a teaspoon can change the whole taste. Experimenting with these flavors can make your brownies unique and delicious. Remember, you can find the full recipe to guide you through these variations.

This keeps the brownies tasty and dairy-free. Check the brownies after 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they are done.

Ingredients
  

2 medium apples, peeled and finely grated

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup erythritol or any preferred sugar substitute

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated apples, unsweetened applesauce, and eggs. Using a whisk, blend the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined and smooth.

      In another bowl, sift together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This ensures an even distribution of the dry ingredients.

        Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.

          Carefully pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using the spatula to spread it evenly and reach the corners of the pan.

            Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when the brownies are ready.

              Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                After the brownies have cooled, use a sharp knife to cut them into square pieces for serving.
