Apple and Cinnamon Blondies always remind me of apple pie. Such a gorgeous flavour. Perfect served warm with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients
170gButter or MargarineMelted
75gCaster sugar
200gLight brown sugar
3Eggs
2teaspoonsVanilla extract
1teaspoonNutmeg
2teaspoonCinnamon
220gPlain flour
3ApplesPeeled, cored, and chopped into 1cm chunks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
In a large mixing bowl whisk the sugars and eggs for 5 minutes until the mixture has lightened and is thick.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract and keep whisking until the colour is even.
Sift the flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon into the egg and sugar mixture.
Fold together well.
Add the apples and mix until evenly spread.
Pour into the baking tray and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 minutes until pale golden and the edges are coming away from the tin.
Leave to cool in the tray for 25 minutes before removing carefully.
Notes
Once peeled and chopped, your apples will start to brown. They aren't left long, and a little browning won't affect your blondies (you are going to bake them anyway!) but if you'd rather avoid, toss the apple chunks in a tbsp or 2 of lemon juice.
The eggs and sugar mixture should get noticeably lighter, and thicker, increasing in volume. This can take 5 minutes on high-power.
Cool completely before cutting.
If the middle is still slightly undercooked, leave to cool completely in the tin, and then pop in the fridge for an hour to firm up.
If your blondies are slightly overbaked, you've got an apple and cinnamon cake - enjoy it!
Serve cold as a snack, or reheat and serve with vanilla ice cream for a yummy pudding.
