Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Glazed Apple Blondies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 11x7 inch baking pan by lining it with foil or lightly greasing it.
  2. In a medium skillet, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the apples are tender.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time with the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding in until just combined.
  5. Spread half of the blondie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Spoon the cooled apple filling over this layer, and dollop the remaining blondie batter on top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. In a small saucepan, melt together the butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  8. Pour the warm maple glaze evenly over the cooled blondies and let it set for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.
