If you’re torn between making the classic cookie or brownie, or you’re out of anything chocolate and don’t want to go to the store, this apple sauce blondie recipe is made for you!
INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE APPLE BLONDIES:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup North Coast Organic Apple Sauce
1 egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely diced apples
FOR THE HOT TODDY GLAZE:
3/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon whiskey
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter. Pour into a bowl and whisk in the brown sugar until completely incorporated. Whisk in the apple sauce and vanilla. Then whisk in the egg (ensuring the butter mixture is not too hot).
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture in two additions, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the apples. Line a 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Oil lightly. Spread the mixture evenly into the pan and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Let the blondies cool and prepare the glaze. Mix all of the ingredients together until combined. If not using whiskey, substitute with North Coast apple juice or milk. Add more sugar if you would like the glaze thicker, or more milk if you would like it thinner.
Cut the blondies into 9 squares and drizzle with the glaze. Store in an air tight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
