If you love classic blondies, you are going to adore this autumn twist. I pack these with fresh apple pieces to give them a lovely soft texture and a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with brown sugar.

My best tip is to peel your apples and chop them into small pieces. This ensures you get a little bit of apple in every single bite, and it helps the blondies bake up perfectly soft and chewy.

🧺 Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups apples, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon milk

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
3
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, then stir until well combined.
4
Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just mixed, then gently fold in the chopped apples.
5
Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
6
While the blondies cool, whisk the powdered sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and milk together in a small bowl until smooth.
7
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blondies, let it set for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

💡 Tips

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to make them ahead of time, they freeze beautifully for up to one month without the glaze.
