Apple Blondies
Apple blondies are a simple fall dessert. Baked with brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped apples, these bars are packed with fall flavor.
Servings: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (142 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled (1 stick or 113 g)
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed (200 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 medium apples peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch squares
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the flour mixture and stir just until combined (careful not to overmix). Fold in chopped apples.
- Transfer batter to prepared baking pan (the batter will be a little thick). Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool and cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- We recommend using Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for baking. They keep their texture and flavor through the baking process.
- When stirring in the flour, it's okay to leave pockets of flour. The flour will disappears when the apples are added.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
