These Blondie Brownies are a knock-off of Applebee's Blonde Brownies, but I decided to do a little spin on it and add in some chopped Granny Smith Apples and top them off with a Maple Cream Cheese Glaze to give it some sweetness. 

I love those Granny Smith's, but feel free to add in your favorite apple flavor to these blondie brownies, or you can leave them plain or add in some white chocolate chips and nuts.  It's whatever your little heart desires.  Don't they look scrumptious?

Are you a blondie or a brownie stalker?  Here are some other blondie and brownie recipes that might sway you too!  

I SO wish I could drink coffee with these blondie brownies.  It would be SOOOOO perfect!  I love coffee, but it doesn't like me!  🙁 How rude, right?!!!  

So, I will just warm one of these little home-made babies up in the microwave, then give it a dollop of vanilla ice cream and top it off with some more Maple Cream Cheese Glaze!  Sprinkle some walnuts or pecans on top for a more nutty, crunchy flavor!  Yum!  

So, what are you waiting for?
