How To Make apple walnut blondies with maple butter glaze

Test Kitchen Tips
Every oven is different, ours baked for a total of 35 minutes. We suggest starting to check the blondies at 25 minutes.
  • Oven set to preheat to 350 degrees.
    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350*.
  • Creaming sugar and shortening in a bowl.
    Step 2
    In a large bowl mix and cream together the sugars and the shortening. If you don't have butter-flavored shortening, you can add butter-flavored extract. I recommend Crisco.
  • Adding eggs one at a time.
    Step 3
    Add eggs one at a time; mixing well after each egg.
  • Baking powder, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon added.
    Step 4
    Add baking powder, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • Slowly adding flour to batter.
    Step 5
    Add flour a little at a time mixing well. Batter will be really thick, kinda like dough.
  • Folding in apples and walnuts.
    Step 6
    Fold in apples and walnuts.
  • Batter spread into a baking dish.
    Step 7
    Spread into greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • Blondies baking in the oven.
    Step 8
    Bake for approx. 25-30 mins until golden on top and it no longer looks wet.
  • Glaze ingredients whisked together.
    Step 9
    While blondies are baking, mix up the glaze. It should have the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Glaze drizzled over the blondies.
    Step 10
    After blondies are done baking remove them from the oven, wait about 5 minutes then drizzle glaze over the blondies. Let cool for about 15 mins, then cut and serve. :)
