To start off your Sweet & Spicy Apple Cinnamon Blondies, you’ll need to focus on properly combining the butter and sugar. Begin by melting unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or gently over low heat on the stove until it is completely liquid. Once melted, allow it to cool slightly before adding the sugar. Using a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. The brown sugar will bring that rich, caramel-like flavor, while the granulated sugar contributes sweetness.

Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well-combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly mixed.

        Combine All Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the diced apples, walnuts, and white chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.

          Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the blondies are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

            Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut them into squares.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the blondies warm or at room temperature. They're delicious on their own or drizzled with a little caramel sauce for an extra treat!
