Ingredients

Scale

For the Blondies:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple)

For the Maple Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside to ensure even distribution of the leavening and spices.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter and packed brown sugar together until smooth and fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, gently mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the blondies tough.
  5. Add the apples: Using a spatula, carefully fold in the diced apples until they are evenly incorporated into the batter without crushing them.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the blondies comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  7. Make the maple glaze: While the blondies are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
  8. Drizzle the glaze: Once the blondies have cooled for about 10 minutes, evenly drizzle the maple glaze over the top to add a sweet, glossy finish.
  9. Serve: Allow the glaze to set slightly, then slice the blondies into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a crisp apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the best texture and sweetness.
  • Let blondies cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • The blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
