Caramel apple blondies are soft, buttery, packed with warm cinnamon apples, and finished with a drizzle of gooey caramel.
Servings: 12 Blondies
Ingredients
- 1¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 Granny Smith apple
- ⅓ cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Peel, core, and dice apple into small pieces.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, heat the butter in the microwave until melted.
- Add the brown sugar and sugar to the bowl and whisk until the large clumps have dissipated.
- Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until the mixture becomes smooth.
- Stir in flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
- Add the diced apple and mix until just combined.
- Spoon batter into the prepared brownie tin, or an 8x8 glass pan.

- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Notes
Tips
- Toss your apples with lemon juice after dicing to avoid browning.
- Mix the batter until just combined for the best brownie texture. Lumpy batter is okay!
- Cool the brownies before slicing for clean cuts and smooth edges.
- Spray your pan evenly with nonstick spray, but don't use so much that it pools.
- Store your brownies with a slice of white bread. The moisture keeps the brownies from drying out!
