Chewy blondies bursting with apples, cinnamon, and finished with a luscious maple glaze.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Fruit

10 - 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)

→ Glaze

11 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter
12 - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
13 - 1 cup powdered sugar

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk melted unsalted butter and packed brown sugar until mixture is smooth and well-blended.
03 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until incorporated.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
05 - Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a uniform batter forms.
06 - Gently fold diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
07 - Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow blondies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before glazing.
09 - Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in maple syrup until combined, then gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth and pourable.
10 - Drizzle the cooled blondies with the maple glaze, slice, and serve.

# Extra Tips:

01 - To prevent soggy texture, thoroughly dry diced apples before incorporating them into the batter.
