Apple Blondie

 What is a Blondie?

A blondie is a blonde version of a brownie.  You’ll find brown sugar is substituted for white sugar and vanilla for cocoa powder.   However, similar to a brownie, they are a chewy, sweet, dessert bar. 

Unlike a brownie, blondies do not usually contain chocolate or white chocolate.  A blondie may however contain other types of chips like butterscotch chips.  Blondies tend to be sweeter than a traditional brownie and are not frosted.  

Why are mine more cake like than chewy brownie like?

When baking these, you want a brownie consistency.  To achieve this you must slightly under bake them.  However you’ll have more of a chewy brownie like consistency.  

The real trick is to know your oven.  If your oven cooks hot, then lower the baking temperature or baking time. If your oven cooks cool, then lengthen the baking time.  The time included in this recipe is what works best for my oven.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cup white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups apples, diced (a tart baking apple is best like granny smith)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 Tablespoon white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
3. In a bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar & 1 1/2 cup white sugar.
4. Add eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, salt & baking powder, mix well.
5. Add flour and mix again. Batter will be thick, don't worry!
6. Add apples and walnuts (if desired) and mix well. Batter should begin to thin to more brownie like consistency.
7. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan.
8. In a small dish, mix 1 Tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of apple mixture.
9. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until brownie consistency then remove from oven.
10. Allow to cool. Once cooled, cut into bars and devour immediately by itself or with a large scoop of ice cream!

 

Notes

This recipe is considered a "triple batch" but really it's the perfect amount! This recipe has been adjusted based on reader comments and reviews! So if a reader says DOUBLE or TRIPLE the recipe, DO NOT. The original recipe was in a 8 x 8 dish and this is much bigger (and more flavorful) in a 9 x 13 dish!
