Caramel apple blondies are a delicious brown sugar blondie stuffed full of apple pieces and lots of gooey caramel for a perfect fall dessert!
Blondies are one of my favorite treats with their rich brown sugar flavor throughout. I just knew I had to try a fall version, and these caramel apple blondies did not disappoint.
These caramel apple blondies are packed full of cinnamon, soft apple pieces and ooey gooey caramel in the middle. They are bundled up with the perfect fall flavors, and are great enjoyed no matter what season. Even if you’re dreaming of fall, but the weather is still a little hot, and the leaves aren’t quite changing colors.
There is extra caramel in these bars to make them extra gooey and chewy and delicious. They’re amazing on their own or even better as a warm dessert, zapped in the microwave for a few seconds and topped with ice cream and a drizzle of extra caramel for good measure.
