Cinnamon Apple Brown Butter Blondies

December 4, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Cinnamon Apple Brown Butter Blondies combine sweet aromatic cinnamon apples with the gooey texture of a classic blondie; it’s a perfect pairing!

For those times you want pie, but have neither the time nor the patience to make pie, I give you these blondies. Because apparently, as of late blondies have become my thing (only in the food sense, lol).

It started back in October when my Salted Peanut Butter and Chocolate Snickers Brown Butter Blondies saved the day (or at least the moment!) and helped use up leftover Halloween candy. The trend continued with my Flourless Pecan Pie Cashew Butter Blondies about a month later, and now these.

Truthfully, I’ve been sitting on this recipe for going on two months now, but I couldn’t share this recipe right after I shared the Snickers blondies, right? Lest you all catch on quick to the fact that apparently I am blondie-obsessed. (But I promise I’m not, lol. This batch went to a good friend who polished them off in a single day!)

The really great thing and perhaps what I love most about blondies (other than their amazingly gooey texture) is the fact that once you come up with the perfect base recipe, you can change up the flavor seasonally or to suit your preference. I had two lonely little apples in my fridge and of course that’s not enough to make a pie…but it’s the perfect amount to whip up these bars!

These are super easy to make, the only thing that bears noting this that the apples have to be slightly precooked before being added to the batter. Don’t skip this step; it results in perfectly tender and sweetly aromatic pieces of apple. Take into consideration that these require minimal effort for such a delicious treat, and you have something that might make you at least think twice before you take an afternoon to make an apple pie!

I promise it’ll be a while, but any requests on my next flavor of blondies?

Prep time:  20 mins
Cook time:  40 mins
Total time:  1 hour
Yield: 1 (8 by 8-inch pan), about 12 servings
 
Cinnamon Apple Brown Butter Blondies combine sweet aromatic cinnamon apples with the gooey texture of a classic blondie; it’s a perfect pairing!
Ingredients
Apple Mix:
  • 2 medium sweet-tart apples, cored and chopped small (not peeled)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Brown Butter Blondies:
  • 10 tablespoons (142 g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • ¾ cup (150 g) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
  • 1 cup (128 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F; line an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper so it hangs over all 4 sides.
  2. For the apple mix, add all ingredients to a small saucepan; bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer until the apples are tender and the liquid is evaporated, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool.
  3. For the brown butter blondies, whisk together the brown butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and molasses in a large bowl. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. Fold in the apples (they should be syrupy).
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread it out as evenly as possible, and bake until golden on the outside, but still a touch doughy in the center, about 27 to 31 minutes (be careful not to overbake, as these are best gooey in the center).
  5. Cool completely before cutting.

    I have been playing around with brownie recipes recently, and you are so right pies can be a bit laborious so a blondie would definitely hit the spot!

The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️
