Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the baking dish by greasing it with butter and dusting with flour.
  • Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl and whisk until well blended.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and stir in the brown sugar until smooth, then add vanilla extract.
  • Allow the butter mixture to cool briefly, then mix in the egg until well combined.
  • Gently combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
  • Fold in the diced Granny Smith apple until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Don’t overmix and ensure the melted butter is cool before adding the egg for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze them for longer enjoyment.
