Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!  Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg  2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped  Directions   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment. Gemma used 8x8 but I like my bars thinner. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Apple and Blueberry Crisp

Fruit crisps are an easy last minute dessert. You probably have most of the items in your kitchen already. I like to sneak in a little flax here and there when I'm cooking/baking. You can leave it out if you want.


Apple and Blueberry Crisp

Ingredients
For the Fruit Mixture
  • 2 large cooking apples, diced
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. In a nonstick pan over medium high heat, sautee the apples with the water until they start to get soft, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, cinnamon and blueberries. Pour into a glass casserole dish.
  3. Combine the topping ingredients with your fingers until crumbly and sprinkle on top of fruit.
  4. Bake for about 10 minutes or until bubbly. Let cool down a bit before you eat it because it's really hot and burning your tongue is no fun.
  5. Top with ice cream if you want to be really naughty.
