Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup apple, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- Peel and dice the apple into small chunks. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- In another bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing and cutting into squares.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the blondies chewy.
