Detailed Directions and Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish

Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the blondies.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6: Add Apples

Fold in the diced apples gently into the batter to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Step 7: Transfer to Baking Dish

Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9: Prepare Maple Glaze

While the blondies are baking, whisk together the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10: Glaze the Blondies

Once the blondies are out of the oven, allow them to cool for about 10-15 minutes before drizzling the maple glaze over the top.

Step 11: Cool and Serve

Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.
