Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Blondies

Print Recipe
Infused with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chunks of fresh apples, these soft Cinnamon Apple Blondies taste like fall in bar form. My favorite part? They require basically just pantry staples and stay moist and tender for days! They're buttery, sweet, and loaded with real apple flavor.
