• Pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9x13” cake pan with oil or butter. Line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper. Set aside.

Apples

• Peel and chop the apples, then place them in a medium bowl. Add the cinnamon powder, and the nutmeg, and stir to combine. Set aside.

Blondie Batter

• To a large mixing bowl add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. With an electric mixer, which could be a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars for 1 minute. Add the eggs, beat for 4 minutes, until the mixture is super light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla and mix.
• Add the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix on low with the mixer, until the dry ingredients are almost entirely incorporated.
• Add the prepared apples, and the white chocolate chips and mix with a spatula to combine, until a smooth and thick batter forms.
• The batter will be super thick.
• Spread the batter evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface of the blondies batter.
• Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, until golden on top, and set around the edges.
• A toothpick inserted into the batter should come out clean, if only with a couple of crumbs, as long as it’s not raw batter sticking to the toothpick.
• Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool down for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Apple Cider Glaze

• Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl.
• Add the apple cider in. Whisk until a smooth and runny glaze has formed.
• If the glaze isn’t runny enough, add more apple cider just a little at a time.
• Instead of apple cider, you can also use simply milk, or apple juice instead.
• Drizzle the glaze over the blondies. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
• Slice and serve.

Storage

• Store the bars in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Wrap each bar nicely in plastic wrap, and place in an air tight container in the freezer. Let the bars thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
• If serving the bars from the fridge, make sure they sit at room temperature to soften for about 30 minutes.
