Ingredients
Blondies
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Apple Filling
2 large apples chopped finely
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Maple Glaze
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and line an 11×7 pan with tin foil (or spray with pan with cooking spray).
Apple Filling
On med-low heat, cook apple filling mixture for about 3-4 minutes. Pull off heat and allow to cool.
Blondies
Cream butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in brown sugar and granulated sugar, and mix until well combined.
Add in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add in salt and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
In the bottom of the pan, spread half the blondie batter evenly, using a spatula (or your hands–batter is very thick, so I prefer to spread with my hands).
Spread apple filling all over the layer.
Top with remaining blondie batter and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
