Ingredients
Blondies:
- 2 cups Brown Sugar Firmly Packed
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter Melted and Cooled
- 2 Large Eggs Lightly Beaten
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Granny Smith Apples Peeled, Cored and Chopped
- 1 cup Pecans Chopped
Caramel Glaze:
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Firmly Packed
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Pecans Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC).
- Line a 9x13 baking dish with doubled aluminum foil and a few inch overhang on both ends. Butter or spray lined the dish with nonstick cooking spray. (I prefer using a metal rather than glass dish for this but use whichever you like)
- In a large bowl, stir together brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to brown sugar mixture and stir until combined. Stir in apples and pecans. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
- 5. Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare glaze. In a heavy bottomed 2-quart saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter, and milk to a boil over medium heat. Boil 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove from heat.
- Add vanilla and powdered sugar and using a hand-held electric mixer beat on medium speed until smooth. Pout immediately over cooled blondies and sprinkle with pecans.
