Instructions

In a frying pan over medium heat, combine the chopped apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for about 5 minutes until the apples are softened, then transfer to a plate to cool.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8×8” pan with parchment paper, ensuring there’s an overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until combined. Incorporate the cooled apples and their juices.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Be careful not to overbake!
Once baked, cool completely on a wire rack before drizzling with icing.

Notes

These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For an extra twist, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
Adjust the spices to your taste preference for a more pronounced flavor.
