Apple Blondie Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups apples, finely diced
- 1 cup chopped pecans, optional
Brown Sugar Frosting Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cup powdered sugar
Apple Blondie Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Beat in sugar and eggs until fluffy. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined. Gently fold in apples and pecans, if desired. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Brown Sugar Frosting Instructions
While the blondies are in the oven, make the brown sugar frosting. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and heat until bubbly and let bubble for about 2 mins.
Add the milk and cook for another 30-60 seconds until no longer grainy. Remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Add more milk if necessary to thin it out.
Frost the bars with the warm frosting about 2 minutes after they come out of the oven. Cool completely before slicing.
