Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peeled cored, and chopped apples (½” pieces)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cups dark brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a frying pan over medium heat, combine the prepared apples, dark brown sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples soften. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and parchment-line an 8×8” baking pan, leaving overhangs for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg together until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, packed dark brown sugar, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until most of the flour is incorporated. Fold in the cooled apple mixture and any juices until fully combined.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. Be careful not to overbake!
- Allow the blondies to cool completely on a wire rack before applying icing.
Notes
Ensure apples are well-chopped for even distribution in the blondies.
Optional: Add chopped nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
