Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup apples (chopped, preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (for glaze)
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Gently fold in chopped apples to ensure they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While cooling, mix maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth for the glaze. Drizzle over cooled blondies before cutting into squares.
