These Brown Butter Apple Blondies with pecan nuts are a classic fall dessert to start off the apple season. Chewy and dense texture. Plus the brown butter makes everything better.
Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C. Grease a 9*13- inch baking dish with cooking spray and line with Parchment paper, with sides hanging out, which will help you get the blondies out, after they get baked.
Add the Butter to a saucepan. Allow the Butter to melt over medium-low heat. As the Butter starts to melt, stir using a wire whisk or a spatula. The Butter will start to bubble, and get frothy. After about 3 minutes, the bubbling will stop. At this moment, stir again and your brown butter shall be ready. Take it out in a separate bowl and cool it down. It is advisable to do this step in a light-colored pan so that you can see the color of the butter changing. A dark-colored pan, will make it difficult to check the color of the butter, turning brown. (See video below for visual)
In the same pan, add chopped Apples. Add the Brown Sugar and Ground Cinnamon. Stir over medium-low heat. Allow the Apples to soften for about 3-5 minutes over medium-low heat. Once done, take it out in a separate bowl. (See video below for visual)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk Flour, Baking Powder, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Nutmeg, and Salt.
To the Dry ingredients, add Brown Butter, Apples, Brown Sugar, Pure Vanilla Extract, Egg & Egg Yolk. Mix everything well, until combined, using a rubber or silicone spatula. The Blondie batter should be thick.
Pour the Blondie batter into the baking dish. Add the chopped Pecans and some more chopped Apples. Press gently, the top of the Blondie batter using a spatula, so that the apples and pecans get stuck to the batter. Bake the Apple Blondies for 35 min. Once they get done, cool it down to room temperature and then cut it into even-sized squares, using a serrated knife.
