Ingredients
For the Blondies

- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients in one place. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your 9×9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before applying the glaze.
Preparing the Maple Glaze
- While the blondies are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients (powdered sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract) until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blondies and slice them into squares.
