Chewy Apple Blondies topped with a Caramel Buttercream and Toffee bits. One of my favorite Apple desserts!
Ingredients
For the blondies:
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of kosher salt
1 cup all purpose flour
For the filling:
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
½ cup apples, peeled and diced
¼ cup toffee bits
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the frosting:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons caramel sauce
2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons toffee bits
Instructions
For the blondies, line a 9inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Spray with baking spray and press paper to sides of pan. Set aside.
In a small bow, mix filling ingredients together with a fork. Set aside.
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.
Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat butter until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add powdered sugar, caramel and heavy cream. Beat an additional 3-4 minutes until desired consistency.
Remove parchment paper from pan and place blondies on a large platter (or cutting board). Frost bars and sprinkle with remaining toffee bits. Cut into large squares, then into triangles.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. ENJOY.
