How To Make Classic Apple Blondies with Pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in diced apples and walnuts (if using). The batter will be thick.
- Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in pan before cutting into squares.
Tips for success:
- Don’t overmix the batter or the blondies will be tough
- Cut apples into uniform pieces so they cook evenly
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days
These have a perfect chewy texture with bursts of sweet-tart apple in every bite. The brown sugar gives them that signature blondie flavor that’s distinct from brownies.
