# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
After it's done baking, wait till completely cool. If you used parchment paper, pull blondies out first. Otherwise, just slice in the pan.
02 -
Set oven to 180°C. Line a 20x20 cm pan with parchment paper hanging over the sides for easy lifting or grease it lightly.
03 -
Whisk together flour, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and the other half teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl until well blended.
04 -
Core and peel the apple then chop into small pieces about 3/4 to 1 cup. Toss with half a teaspoon of cinnamon and set aside.
05 -
Pour the dry mix into your wet ingredients and stir until everything’s smooth with no flour spots.
06 -
In a big bowl, whisk melted butter with brown sugar till smooth and no butter puddles are left.
07 -
Mix the egg and vanilla into your butter and sugar until everything’s combined.
08 -
Carefully fold cinnamon-coated apple chunks into the batter so they’re spread out evenly.
09 -
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 22-25 minutes. It’s done when the top feels set and a toothpick comes out clean or with some moist crumbs.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Pick tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best taste.
02 -
Make sure melted butter is at room temp so the egg won’t cook when mixed in.
03 -
Don’t bake too long to keep it soft and fudgy inside.
