How to Make Applebee's Maple Butter Blondie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup white chocolate chips.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water to the batter, mixing until evenly moistened.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before serving.
- While blondies cool, prepare the Maple Butter Sauce:
- Melt ¼ cup unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in 4 ounces (1/2 package) softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Increase heat to medium-high and whisk continuously until the sauce thickens slightly and bubbles (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Serve warm blondies topped with a generous drizzle of maple butter sauce, vanilla bean ice cream, and chopped walnuts.
