Indulge in the sweet perfection of Maple Glazed Apple Blondies, a delightful dessert combining the flavors of apples and maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups peeled, diced apples (about 2 medium apples — Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients.
- Gently stir in the diced apples and nuts (if using).
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before glazing.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in maple syrup.
- Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Pour the warm glaze over the cooled blondies and spread evenly.
- Let the glaze set for about 20–30 minutes, then slice into squares.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Warm slightly before serving for the best flavor.
- Add a drizzle of extra maple syrup just before serving for more maple goodness.
