Ingredients

Blondies

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Apple Filling

  • 2 large apples, chopped finely
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Maple Glaze

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 11×7 pan with tin foil (or spray with cooking spray). Apple Filling: On medium-low heat, cook apple filling mixture for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  2. For the Blondies: Cream butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, mix until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in salt and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until combined. Spread half the blondie batter in the pan, layer apple filling, then top with remaining blondie batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a tester comes out clean.
  3. For the Maple Glaze: Melt butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat. Sift in powdered sugar, whisk until combined. Allow to cool for 8-10 minutes to thicken. Pour glaze over cooled bars and let it set. Slice into squares and enjoy!
