These apple cinnamon blondies are made by adding diced apple pieces, cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg to create the perfect chewy fall treat.
A neighbor brought over a plate of apple blondies for us after going apple picking this year. I had never had a blondie before and didn’t really know what they were. After one bite I was obsessed. I savored each piece bite by bite, and when it was finished, I asked for the recipe so that I could make more.
For whatever reason when I made the recipe it did not turn our nearly as good. So, I tried again and again (eating the whole thing each time). I think the biggest thing here is to not overmix the batter. You can adjust the sugar level to as low as ½ cup or as high as ¾ cup depending on your preference.
