Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour an 8×8 inch square baking dish.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a medium bowl melt the butter in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time. Add the brown sugar and with a spoon stir to combine. Add the vanilla extract. Test to make sure the ingredients are not too warm (should be room temperature), then add the egg and combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Do not overmix. Add the apples and gently combine.
Press into an 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool, before cutting and serving.

- Granny Smith Apples: Peel and dice the apples into ¼ inch chunks. They need to be small enough that they incorporate well into the batter. Granny Smith apples are the best kind of apple to use because they are not overly sweet, and the slight tartness is a nice contrast to the sweet blondie.
- Adding the Egg: If the melted butter and sugar mixture is too hot, the egg will scramble when you add it to the batter. Wait until it has cooled, or place it in the fridge or freezer for a couple of minutes to cool down faster.

- Don't Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough blondies.

- Don't Over Bake: The blondies are done when the edges just start to turn a light brown color. Check the blondies 5 minutes before the allotted baking time to make sure that they do not get overdone.

- Allow the Blondies to Cool: Allow the apple cinnamon blondies to cool fully before slicing. This helps to get nice clean slices.
