If you love classic blondies, you will really enjoy this version. The combination of tender apples and warm spices makes them perfect for a cozy afternoon snack or a fall gathering.

I find that dicing the apples into small pieces helps them distribute evenly through the batter. It gives you a little bit of fruit in every single bite.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup apples, peeled and diced small
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon milk

8Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8 by 8 inch baking pan.
2
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
3
Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4
Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just mixed, then gently stir in the diced apples.
5
Spread the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
6
Let the blondies cool completely before making the glaze.
7
Whisk the powdered sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and milk together in a small bowl until smooth.
8
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blondies, let it set for a few minutes, then cut into squares.

Tips

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you prefer them warm, you can pop a single square in the microwave for ten seconds before serving.
