🧈 Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these delicious apple cinnamon blondies, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 sticks butter, softened at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed (divided)
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large apples, peeled and chopped
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
👩🍳 How to Make Apple Cinnamon Blondies
1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together butter and 1 ½ cups of brown sugar until smooth and lightly fluffy.
3: Add eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.
4: Stir in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold gently until a smooth batter forms—don’t overmix!
5: In a small bowl, toss chopped apples with the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Gently fold the apples (and white chocolate chips, if using) into the batter.
6: Spread the blondie batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
7: Let your apple cinnamon blondies cool completely before slicing. The bars will continue to set as they cool, giving you that perfect chewy texture.
🍂 Tips for the Best Apple Cinnamon Blondies
- Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture.
- Don’t overbake! The center should look slightly soft when you take them out.
- Add white chocolate chips for an extra sweet, creamy touch.
- Try drizzling caramel sauce on top for a bakery-style finish!
