A friend of mine who used to work at Applebee's gave me 2 recipes that are close to a couple of my favorite dishes from that restaurant. These are not claimed to be Applebee's actual recipes but rather a close approximation. :) Applebee's Blondies are just SO GOOD! Unfortunately I am allergic to nuts. This recipe is close to theirs and I can omit the nuts..... thanks to an anonymous friend! If you try this recipe I think you will find it very similar to the Applebee's treat, with or without nuts. I am sorry about the poor quality of the picture. This good recipe deserves better!

    Spread batter evenly in a non-stick 9 inch square pan. This will be a small amount of dough. The pan will not be as full as it would be for typical brownies. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until blondies pass the toothpick test. Remove from oven.
