Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9x9 pan.
In a mixing bowl mix cream your melted butter and sugar together. Then add your vanilla extract, and apple sauce in as well.
Next, in a second mixing bowl, mix together your flour, carob powder, flax, baking poweder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well!
Now add your wet ingredients to your dry, and blend them together gently. Then add in your carob chips.
Pour your brownie batter into your sprayed baking pan and allow this to bake for 30-45 minutes. Time will vary by the oven, so watch your brownies! You may test them as well with a tooth pick from time to time to evaluate readiness.
The one caution I might add is be careful not to over bake. Over baking these will result in you having dry and hard brownies. You want them moist and fudgy.
