These Apple Blondies are a delightful dessert that perfectly captures the essence of fall. Combining the warm, spiced flavors of apple pie with the soft, chewy texture of blondies, these bars are topped with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for the ultimate treat. Whether you’re craving a cozy snack or a sweet dessert, this recipe is sure to satisfy.

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 like Granny Smith works best)

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 Tablespoon white sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of white sugar.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder to the mixture, and mix well.
  4. Gradually add in the flour and stir until fully combined. The batter will be thick.
  5. Stir in the diced apples and chopped walnuts (if desired). The batter should loosen to a more brownie-like consistency.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the blondies are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the blondies to cool completely. Once cooled, cut them into bars and enjoy on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

You can use any tart apple variety like Honeycrisp or Braeburn, but Granny Smith apples work best for their firmness and tart flavor.

If you prefer nut-free blondies, simply omit the walnuts.

For a gooier texture, slightly underbake the blondies and check for moist crumbs with a toothpick.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

Freeze the blondies for up to 3 months if needed, and enjoy with whipped cream or caramel sauce as a topping.
