Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  2. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend melted unsalted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined; leave a few small lumps.
  5. Fold in diced apples evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the prepared batter into the lined pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth for the glaze.
  8. After cooling for about 10 minutes, lift the blondies out and drizzle warm maple glaze generously over the top.
  9. Let the glaze set slightly before cutting the blondies into squares and serving warm.
