Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 medium fresh apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the fresh apples into small pieces. Toss them gently with a little ground cinnamon to enhance their flavor, then set aside.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening agent and spice.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined to prevent overmixing and maintain tenderness.
  5. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the cinnamon-coated diced apples into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed for flavorful bites throughout.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.

Notes

  • Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith to balance sweetness and retain shape during baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender and chewy blondies.
  • Use a glass or light-colored metal pan for even baking.
  • Keep an eye on the baking time near the end to avoid drying out the blondies.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; a few moist crumbs are ideal.
