Fall means it's time to cook and bake with fresh apples. If you answer "vanilla" when asked "chocolate or vanilla?" then you are going to love these apple blondies. Blondies, which are basically a vanilla version of a brownie, are the perfect dessert or sweet snack. These easy blondies feature seasonal apples in the batter and are pretty amazing.
To make this quick and easy apple blondies snack recipe, you will need just a few ingredients from your pantry and fridge. Here's what you need to gather: flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs and apples.
Serve these moist apple blondies for dessert, hot or cold. If you serve them warm, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Fun Fact: Blondies are said to have originated during World War II. During WWII, ingredients were being rationed, so some ingredients, like chocolate, were not available.
