Glazed Apple-Maple Blondies
My 6-year-old son and I conjured up this recipe to use up the last of the apples we picked from the local apple orchard. Serve it with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. —Heather Bates, Athens, Maine

BAA HUM BUG CORONA VIRUS .......DEL!GHTFUL LOVE LOVE LOVE I have cheated on my Butter Toffee chocolate cookies. YES YES YES!!! First of all this was a complete devotion to MAPLE so I used Grade B maple then I returned some of her very own Lovely extract to her and because I yearn for maple and extract butter to smooth and sooth the sweet blend 1 tsp butter extract {yes more butter} . Once the cake mostly cool I added the Glaze... Del!ghtful !!!When I make sweets I eat so much and I have found over the years giving myself rich decadent flavors that I long for help with my portion control . This cake lasted almost 4 Hours....My naughty side added white chocolate syrup... Making it many times and then again. Thank you.

Absolutely delicious bars. It took me 40 minutes to bake. The glaze was a nice touch. I think this was more of a cake than a blondie, but still an amazing dessert.
Tasty apple dessert bar. When I made them it took over 40 minutes in the oven, and the texture was more cake than blondie but super moist and had good flavor. Based on prior reviews I was worried that the glaze would make it too sweet... so I added a little powdered sugar to the glaze to make it thicker, and just drizzled it over the top. (I had leftover glaze that I ate like candy after it had cooled). I got lots of rave reviews from my coworkers. I rated it a 4/5 because I was expecting a chewy blondie and got cake instead.
These are so tasty, and full of fall flavor. The apples and maple syrup really revs up the flavor in this blondie recipe. I used honey crisp apples, as they are my favorite for baking. Definitely a hit with the kids!
Absolutely amazing! As some other reviews have said, these bars are quite sweet, but if you want a sweet appley dessert, this recipe is perfect. I used three larger zester apples, and while I would never complain about too much apple, it definitely overshadowed the maple flavor just a pit. Again to reiterate other reviews, it definitely takes at least 30 minutes, or just wait until you see the top start to just turn golden. The frosting was great as well, though I want to try it again with just a little more maple syrup. Overall, a stellar recipe if you want something sweet!
Very tasty! I did reduce the brown sugar (for both the cake and glaze) and crumbled in six pieces of crisply cooked bacon.
I added 3/4 cup chopped pecans when I added the apple. And when I made the glaze, I used 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/4 cup Jim Beam. OMG! That just raised it to another level!
These were excellent. Made them exactly as written. Great dessert!
