Units Scale

Apple Blondies Ingredients:

  • 1 apple
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (141 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams) melted
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (156 grams) packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.
  2. Prepare the apple: Peel, core, and slice the apple. Toss the sliced apple with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. Prepare the dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Mix the wet ingredients: Whisk melted butter and brown sugar, then add egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Stir in the flour mixture until well combined.
  6. Add apples: Gently fold in the cinnamon-coated apples.
  7. Bake: Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 22-25 minutes until set.
  8. Cool and slice: Allow blondies to cool, then slice into bars.

Notes

  • Apple: Use a crisp, tart apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Grated vs Chopped Apple: Grate for more apple flavor or chop for apple chunks.
  • Light Brown Sugar: Can substitute with dark brown and granulated sugar.
  • Doubling the Recipe: Double and use a larger pan for thicker bars.
