Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (90 g) toffee chips (Heath or Skor brand recommended)
  • For the salted caramel drizzle:
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add granulated sugar, then whisk in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Toss diced apples with cinnamon in a small bowl, then fold into the batter along with toffee chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top gently.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden around edges and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. While baking, prepare the salted caramel drizzle by combining brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened and bubbling (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in sea salt. Let cool slightly.
  9. Allow blondies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then drizzle the salted caramel evenly over the top.
  10. Cool completely on a rack before slicing into squares.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough blondies. Choose firm apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp to maintain texture. Pat apples dry if they release too much juice to prevent sogginess. Stir caramel constantly to avoid burning. Parchment paper helps with easy removal and cleanup.
