Apple blondies, with a layer of caramel in the middle and Halloween sprinkles on top. My take on those caramel candy apples that are so popular during Halloween, but these are so much easier to eat (and make)!
Nothing says Halloween more to me than caramel candy apples! Gooey, sticky…hard to to eat. Litehouse sent me some of their caramel dip to try and I was immediately inspired to use it to make some type of apple caramel dessert. Now you have a dessert that is perfect to bring to any Halloween party, and one that EVERYONE will love. Seriously. What’s not to love about an ooey and gooey caramel apple blondie?!
Cut the apple into small bite sized pieces….
Spread a layer of the blondie dough into the pan, top with a thick layer of caramel dip and then add the remaining blondie dough on top! And then you are ready to bake!
Caramel Apple Blondies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar (I used Dixie Crystals)
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar (I used Dixie Crystals)
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Adams Extract)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced into small pieces
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (I used Litehouse Caramel Dip)
- 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles (I used Sweets & Treats Monster Mash Sprinkles)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray the bottom and sides with baking spray.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and creamy. Add the egg and egg yolk to the mixture, mixing in completely. Add the vanilla, salt and ground nutmeg. Change the mixer to low speed and add the baking powder and flour. Mix until barely combined.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber scraper to ensure all ingredients are incorporated. Fold in the apple pieces. Press half the batter into the prepared pan and drizzle a 1/2 cup of the caramel dip evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top. Bake in 350-degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out without raw batter on it. Do not over bake.
Remove baked blondies from the oven and immediately add the sprinkles on top. Let blondies cool and set completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
Blondies are best when allowed to set overnight before cutting into. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Definitely buy this Litehouse caramel dip if you make these….the dip is SO thick, rich and smooth.
YUM-O!!!
XOXO,
Kelly
