How to Make Applesauce Brownies

1. Blend it: Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
   
2. Cream the butter: Using a handheld or electric mixer beat the butter and sugar. Once the butter is creamy, add the egg, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat again until fluffy. Add the melted chocolate and applesauce and beat well.
   
3. Make the batter: Add the flour mixture to the applesauce mixture and beat until just combined.
   
4. Bake: Pour the applesauce brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake the applesauce brownies for 20 to 25 minutes or until the center is just set but still jiggly. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan.
   

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions

To Make Ahead: Applesauce brownies can be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator. For the ultimate freshness and flavor, eat them within two days. The batter can be made up to three months in advance if you freeze it. 

To Freeze: Brownies can also be frozen for longer storage. Just wrap each brownie in plastic wrap, put it in a freezer-safe container, and freeze. Make sure to eat them within two months for the best chocolate flavor and to prevent freezer burn from ruining them.
