How to Make Applebee S Maple Walnut Blondies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the blondies bake, prepare the maple glaze: In a medium bowl, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup maple syrup, and ¼ teaspoon salt until smooth and creamy.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 8 large squares or 16 smaller squares.
- Once cooled, top each blondie with a generous spoonful of maple glaze. Garnish with extra chopped walnuts and serve immediately or chill for later.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
