Ingredients
For Brownies
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup red wine
For Glaze
- 9 tbsp confectioners sugar
- 1 tbsp red wine
- 1 tbsp butter - softened at room temperature
Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Prepare a baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray, lining it with parchment paper that overlaps on the sides so it's easy to remove the brownies.
- Spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.
- Mix all of the brownie ingredients until they are combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour the brownie batter into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and bake for 25-28 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. If the inserted toothpick comes out wet with batter, cook for another 5 minutes, in 5-minute increments.
- Remove the brownies from the baking dish by lifting them out using the overlapped parchment paper.
- Place the brownies, on the parchment paper, onto a cutting board or cookie sheet and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Cut cooled brownies with a cookie cutter or a knife.
For Glaze
- Mix sugar and wine until it has a smooth, shine and drippy consistency.
- Either dip each brownie up-side-down into glaze mix to frost or drizzle with the glaze.
