Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled and diced apples
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
6. Fold in the diced apples and maple syrup gently.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
10. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and enough milk to reach a drizzle consistency.
11. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled blondies.
12. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:
Use crisp apples like Granny Smith for a tart contrast to the sweet blondies.
Ensure blondies are fully cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running.
