Ingredients
  

For the Blondies
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Substitute with a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh for the best results.
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda Must be used along with baking powder.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Use kosher or sea salt for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Can substitute with pumpkin pie spice.
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter (melted) Can replace with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Light brown has a milder flavor while dark brown offers more molasses depth.
  • 2 large Eggs Replace with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Always opt for pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Diced Apples Any firm apple like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith will work well.
For the Maple Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar for a more natural option.
  • ¼ cup Pure Maple Syrup Honey can be an alternative but will change the flavor profile.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (for glaze, melted) Ensures richness in the glaze.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until light and fluffy. Set aside.
  3. In another large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until creamy.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until incorporated. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
  5. Fold in diced apples until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
  7. While the blondies bake, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and melted unsalted butter in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Once baked, let the blondies cool for about 10 minutes before drizzling with the maple glaze.
  9. Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
