Appplesauce Brownies

I LOVE these brownies!! I love the crust that the sugar forms on top. I didn't have any applesauce when I made these, but I had some apples in the fridge that needed to be used up. I peeled, cored and sliced my apples. Then I boiled them in water until they were soft enough to mash. I think I used 8 small apples to make the 2 cups of applesauce. I thought I had a better picture of these, but I guess I ate them all before I got the picture:) I didn't actually eat all of them, but I did eat most of them:)
