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. They middle should be slightly jiggly but they still taste yummy if you over-bake them. Allow to co

Wonton Apple Cinnamon Turnovers

It doesn't get any easier than this! These are best eaten right away, otherwise they get soggy. When I say right away, I mean after letting them cool slightly first so the icing doesn't melt right off. 

Yum! A great way to use an apple that might be a little too soft to eat as a snack.




Wonton Apple Turnovers
Makes 12 Servings

Ingredients
For the Turnovers
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored and diced(small)
  • 2  tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 12 wonton wrappers
For the Icing
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon 2% milk
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a small pot, cook the apple with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for about 5 minutes, or until soft.
  3. Place 12 wrappers on the counter and divide the apple mixture among them.
  4. Use a little water around the edges of the wrappers, then fold them into a triangle. Press along the edges to seal them. Mine weren't perfect! Spray both sides with cooking spray and place on the prepared baking sheet. You could also melt butter and brush them with it.
  5. Combine remaining teaspoon of sugar with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle over the turnovers.
  6. Bake for 6 minutes or until they start to turn golden.
  7. Let them sit for 5 minutes to cool a bit while you prepare the icing.
  8. To make the icing, simply mix the powdered sugar together with the milk until smooth. Drizzle over the slightly cooled turnovers. Serve fresh so they don't become soggy.
