Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1.25 cup packed light brown sugar
- 0.33 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup beaten eggs about 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 2 cup peeled diced apples firm, sweet-tart apples work best
- 0.75 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar for maple drizzle
- 2 tbsp maple syrup, for drizzle
- 1.5 tsp milk or cream to thin drizzle
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square pan and line with parchment, leaving overhang.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a medium bowl.
- Stir brown sugar, maple syrup, and melted butter in a large bowl until glossy.
- Whisk in beaten eggs and vanilla until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in diced apples and pecans. Spread batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake 26–30 minutes, until the top is set and a tester comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan on a rack. Lift out using parchment overhang.
- Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth and drizzly. Adjust thickness as needed.
- Drizzle over cooled blondies, let set, then cut into 16 squares.
Notes
Variation: Swap pecans for walnuts, or fold in a handful of dried cranberries. For extra spice, use 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice in place of the individual spices.
Storage: Keep blondies covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze, well wrapped, for 2 months.
