How to Make Applebee's Blonde Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Brownies: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and mix well. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir in 1 cup packed light brown sugar until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the sauce:
- Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup maple syrup and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted.
- Stir in ¼ cup packed light brown sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Beat in 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, and ½ teaspoon maple extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the brownies are baked, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese sauce evenly over the top.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt!
