Caramel Apple Blondies
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Serves: 16
Ingredients:
- 1 medium apple (Honeycrisp or similar)
- 1 cup plus ½ tablespoon Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup caramel candies, quartered, or caramel chips
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional)
Directions:
- Peel, core, and dice apple into ½ inch cubes. In a skillet or pan over medium heat, heat ½ tablespoon of avocado oil and add apples, cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Saute apples, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8” x 8” inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease lightly. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and remaining salt. In a larger bowl, whisk together remaining 1 cup avocado oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add flour mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Add apple mixture and caramel candies and mix until incorporated. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and place in oven.
- Bake until browned along the edges and just set in the center, about 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out slightly moist.
- Remove pan from oven. Let cool for ten minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack. When completely cooled, drizzle caramel sauce over top (if using) and slice into pieces for serving.
