Description
Apple Cinnamon Blondies are a delightful dessert that combines the rich, buttery flavor of blondies with the sweet and tart taste of apples, enhanced by warm cinnamon.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup (115 grams), melted
- Brown sugar: 1 cup (200 grams), packed
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup (125 grams)
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Diced apples: 1 cup (about 2 medium apples)
- Chopped walnuts: 1/2 cup (optional)
- Cinnamon sugar (for dusting): 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, and finally stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined, then fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top while still warm, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Choose firm and slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- For vegan, replace eggs with unsweetened applesauce and butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
