Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with foil, bringing the foil up over the edges of the pan. Spray foil lightly with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Add 1 Tbsp of the butter to a large saucepan and heat over MED heat. Add diced apples and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Set saucepan aside.
- Melt butter and add it to a large mixing bowl. Add in both sugars and maple syrup and stir until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla and stir until combined.
- Add in dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda) and stir until just combined and no flour streaks remain. Stir in cooked apples.
- Transfer batter to prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes until puffed and lightly golden brown. Test with a toothpick inserted in the center... toothpick should have a few moist crumbs on it when removed, but no batter.
- Cool blondies in baking pan.
MAKE THE FROSTING:
- To a small mixing bowl, add maple syrup, melted butter and powdered sugar, and 1 Tbsp of the half and half, and whisk to combine. If needed, whisk in another tablespoon of the half and half until frosting is a loose spreading consistency.
- Spread frosting over the cooled bars and let sit until frosting has set. Use the foil overhand to lift the bars out of the baking pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into bars.
