Bowden Blondies with caramel, apples & Walnuts image

Took a couple of blondie (brownies minus the chocolate) recipes I came across, and made them mine. My guy's love these, and decided to post to keep track of the recipe while our home is being painted. I hope you love them as much as we have! One day soon I think we'll do a sweet potato, or pumpkin version! :D

Steps:

  • 1. Use hand mixer to beat brown sugar, oil, eggs, and egg yolk smooth
  • 2. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • 3. Use hand mixer to combine flour mix, and sugar mix until completely blended. *Dough is stiff*
  • 4. Fold in 2 C. of the diced, peeled granny Smith apples, and roasted (you can use unroasted) walnuts.
  • 5. Turn oven to 350°f to preheat.
  • 6. Grease with shortening, or spray with no stick the sides, and bottom of (2) 8x8 glass baking dishes. Wipe excess shortening off.
  • 7. Dived dough into 3 equal parts. Press 1 portion of dough into each pan, reserving the last portion.
  • 8. Melt caramels into heavy cream. Stir constantly with wooden spoon! Will burn quickly!!
  • 9. Drizzle melted caramel equally over the dough pressed into the 2 pans.

  • 12. Bake in your preheated 350°f oven for 25- 30 minutes, or until toothpick has tiny cooked crumbles on it, but no wet dough ;)
  • 13. Cool completely on cooling rack. I usually do an hour on the rack.
  • Cut each pan into 6 servings. Can be plated, popped into the microwave for 25 seconds, and served with ice cream for a là mode.
