Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (150g) diced apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (for caramel sauce)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
  • Pinch of salt (for caramel sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and amber in color. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 6 tablespoons (85g) of unsalted butter, followed by 1/3 cup (80ml) of heavy cream. Add a pinch of salt and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (115g) of melted butter, 1 cup (200g) of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) of granulated sugar until smooth. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in 1 cup (150g) of diced apples.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Drizzle the cooled caramel sauce generously over the top, then lift the blondies out using the parchment overhang and slice into squares.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough blondies.’, ‘Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a flavor contrast.’, ‘Cool the caramel sauce slightly before drizzling.’, ‘Blondies are done when the edges are golden brown and the center is set but slightly soft.’]
