Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 apple

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (141 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (divided)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams), melted
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (156 grams), packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, allowing an overhang for easy removal, or lightly grease the pan if preferred.
  2. Prepare the Apple: Peel and core the apple, then cut it into small chunks, aiming for about 3/4 to 1 cup. Toss these apple pieces with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and set aside, ensuring not to exceed 1 cup of chopped apple.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  4. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and light brown sugar together until fully blended and no visible pools of butter remain.
  5. Add Egg and Vanilla: Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until smooth and well combined.
  6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth, with no lumps or streaks of flour.
  7. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the cinnamon-coated apple chunks into the batter, distributing them evenly.
  8. Transfer to Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool fully in the pan. When ready to serve, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang if lined, or cut directly in the pan if greased. Slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • Make sure not to use more than 1 cup of chopped apple to keep the batter balanced and avoid excess moisture.
  • You can substitute the apple variety based on preference, such as Granny Smith for tartness or Fuji for sweetness.
  • Ensure the butter is fully melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
  • Use parchment paper to make it easier to remove blondies neatly from the pan.
  • Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
