If you’re a fan of sweets and treats, you’re going to love the flavor of these Maple Apple Blondies. Not only do they take less than 30 minutes of time to make but they’re full of that fall flavor that we long for all year long!
To be honest, I love all types of desserts. But there is just something about a “melt-in-your-mouth” blondie recipe that has me coming back for more. I love that these are simple and easy to make and have such an awesome flavor, too. Using an apple in the mix really gives that fun fall taste!
Be certain to check out our Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars for another delicious apple recipe. When it’s this time of year, the more apple desserts, the better!
This blondie recipe has 9 servings, but if you cut the pieces a bit smaller, you can extend the life of them to feed more mouths. The maple glaze is the perfect topping but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that a scoop of vanilla ice cream right on top is pretty darn perfect, too.
The kids love when they get that first whiff of the blondies baking in the oven because they know that they’re about to treat their sweet tooths in a short amount of time.
I love to make these as a fun after-school snack or even as a sweet treat to eat after dinner. Since they have a real apple in them, they have to have some health value, right?
Make certain to store them in an airtight container so that they stay as fresh as possible for a long as possible. And if you like to eat them warm as I do, just pop them in the microwave for a few short seconds to warm them back up!
Have fun with this simple maple and apple dessert. It’s one of my favorite flavors to eat during the fall months!
