Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
  • Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to easily lift out the blondies later.
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. This ensures the salt is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough blondies.
  • Gently fold in the diced apples. Make sure the apples are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the caramel into the batter. This will create beautiful and delicious caramel pockets in the blondies.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the blondies to remain chewy.
  • Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will prevent them from falling apart.
