Halloween Apple Toffee Blondies


Gueeeeeeeessss whaaaat!!!!?? I finally mastered the art of brownie making. But not just any brownie making, Blondies, apple toffee blondies to be exact!Yes, it took me forever and a day but I finally got it! Yay me! Now some of you may be thinking what the heck is blondie and how is it a brownie? Well a blondie is a butterscotch brownie, no chocolate. It's chewy like a brownie, it's sweet like a brownie, it has basically the same ingredients as a brownie, but minus the chocolate. Sounds delicious doesn't it? It is, it really is! And today I made blondies with apples and toffee which really added some pizazz to them. And they turned out perfect! The toffee added the right amount of sugar and chewiness while the apple added a really nice texture and flavor to them. Oh man you guys, you've got to try this!


Ingredients:

3/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/4 tsp of apple pie spice
2 eggs
1/2 cup of softened butter(please no margarine)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups of tart apple (peeled and chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup toffee bits
1/2 cup of chopped pecans (if you wish)


Step One: OK Set your hot box to 350 degrees and coat an 11x 7 x 2 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray

Step Two: beat sugar, brown sugar, and apple pie spice in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until mixed well. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the mix in a small bowl.

Step Three: add butter to mixing bowl and beat until well mixed. Add eggs and vanilla and mix it thoroughly.

Step Four: In a medium bowl stir together flour baking powder and salt. Add egg mixture and beat it until well blend it.Next fold in apples,toffee,and pecans (if you wish)and then spread into prepared pan

Step Five: Sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is deep golden brown, and when you insert a wooden toothpick in the center, and it comes out clean. Now I know your tempted to get out your spoon and dig in. The smell is lingering through out the house, and you're going gaga just looking at it, But hold back temptation until it's fully cooled cut it into about 15 squares, and then dig in.But don't over do it now! Enjoy!


For Halloween this is a great dish too! You could get your favorite white icing and add some orange food coloring and spread it on top and add those edible Halloween stickers to the tops of the squares and serve. Great party idea!
