Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC/fan 160ºC/gas 4, then line a 20x20cm baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
2 Pour the apple purée into a mixing bowl then sift in the cocoa, flour and bicarbonate of soda. Add the sugar and 2 tablespoons water, then mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped chocolate and pecans.
3 Transfer the mixture to the tin, then bake for 25–30 min until the centre feels set but a little fudgy.
4 Cool in the tin for 5–10 min before turning out on to a wire rack. When completely cool, slice into squares and dust with icing sugar to serve.
