Full of flavor, these are the perfect blondies for fall. They have just the right gooey texture and are jam-packed full of apples and almost have a caramel flavor. Drizzled on top, the maple glaze complements all the flavors. Yum!

How To Make apple walnut blondies with maple butter glaze

Test Kitchen Tips
Every oven is different, ours baked for a total of 35 minutes. We suggest starting to check the blondies at 25 minutes.
  • Oven set to preheat to 350 degrees.
    1
    Preheat oven to 350*.
  • Creaming sugar and shortening in a bowl.
    2
    In a large bowl mix and cream together the sugars and the shortening. If you don't have butter-flavored shortening, you can add butter-flavored extract. I recommend Crisco.
  • Adding eggs one at a time.
    3
    Add eggs one at a time; mixing well after each egg.
  • Baking powder, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon added.
    4
    Add baking powder, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • Slowly adding flour to batter.
    5
    Add flour a little at a time mixing well. Batter will be really thick, kinda like dough.
  • Folding in apples and walnuts.
    6
    Fold in apples and walnuts.
  • Batter spread into a baking dish.
    7
    Spread into greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • Blondies baking in the oven.
    8
    Bake for approx. 25-30 mins until golden on top and it no longer looks wet.
  • Glaze ingredients whisked together.
    9
    While blondies are baking, mix up the glaze. It should have the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Glaze drizzled over the blondies.
    10
    After blondies are done baking remove them from the oven, wait about 5 minutes then drizzle glaze over the blondies. Let cool for about 15 mins, then cut and serve. :)
