  1. For the blondies, line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix apple filling ingredients together with a fork. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix brown sugar with melted butter until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, salt and flour. Pour into bottom of prepared pan. Top with apple filling. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.
