Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir frequently as it foams and begins to brown, aiming for a golden color with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix sugars and eggs: In a large bowl, combine light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the cooled browned butter and whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Transfer to pan and bake: Pour batter into a prepared 8×8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and drizzle: Let blondies cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, drizzle with pure maple syrup in a thin, even layer.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully while browning to avoid burning. Fold apples gently to keep their texture. Use the toothpick test to avoid overbaking. Let blondies cool completely before drizzling maple syrup to maintain texture. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free maple syrup.
