How to Make Apple Cinnamon Blondies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Melt the unsalted butter over low heat until slightly browned. Set it aside to cool.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
  • Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl, stirring until smooth.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients and then the chopped apples.
  • Pour the batter into a lined baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-45 minutes.
  • Cool the blondies in the pan for 1 hour before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese and butter until smooth, then add sugar and maple syrup.
  • Frost the cooled blondies and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cut into squares to serve.

Notes

Store blondies in an airtight container; they last 5-7 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer without frosting.
