1. Can I make these Maple Glazed Apple Blondies gluten-free?

Yes! You can easily make these blondies gluten-free by swapping the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Make sure that your other ingredients, like baking powder, are also gluten-free to ensure the recipe remains safe for those with gluten sensitivities.

2. How do I store Maple Glazed Apple Blondies?

To store these blondies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you’d like to keep them longer, they can be frozen for up to 2 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing. Let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

3. Can I use a different type of apple for this recipe?

Absolutely! While the recipe calls for any apple variety, a tart apple like Granny Smith works particularly well for adding a nice balance to the sweetness of the glaze and batter. However, you can use any type of apple, such as Gala or Fuji, depending on your preference for sweetness and flavor.

4. How thick should the batter be for Maple Glazed Apple Blondies?

The blondie batter for this recipe is quite thick, which makes it easy to spread into the pan, especially since you need to layer it with the apple filling. If the batter feels too thick to spread, you can lightly grease your hands or use a spatula to press it evenly into the pan. The thicker texture ensures the blondies remain chewy and hold up well to the maple glaze

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 11×7 pan with tin foil or spray with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, cook apple filling ingredients over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Cream butter with dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Spread half of the blondie batter in the prepared pan. Top with apple filling.
Spread remaining blondie batter over the apples.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
For the glaze, melt butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon over low heat. Sift in powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Let cool for 8-10 minutes.
Pour the glaze over the cooled blondies, allowing it to set before slicing into squares.

Notes

Make sure to test the blondies with a cake tester before removing from the oven to ensure they are fully cooked.
The glaze can be thickened by allowing it to cool a bit longer before pouring over the blondies.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 2 months.
