    Salted Caramel Chip Apple Blondies

    Good God Gertie!  Can I get a holla for these Salted Caramel Chip Apple Blondies? These easy-to-make blondies are gooey, chewy and loaded with apples and salted caramel chips and are definitely holla-worthy.  You may want to give these Easy Coconut Blondies and these Awesome Butterscotch Blondies too!

    So...Who's ready for apple season?  Is that even a legit question to be asking?  Who isn't ready? -- is probably a better question...?  Said, no one ever...hehe!

    I'm in apple season all year round pretty much, so I cannot deny the fact that there's an actual apple season, but Fall is the preferred time of year apples are ready for the pickin'.

    That's when apples taste the best for flavor and they have a ton of health benefits, so that's a win-win.

    Ingredients You Need

    • unsalted butter 
    • brown sugar
    • vanilla or maple syrup
    • egg
    • all-purpose flour
    • salt
    • apple
    • Sea Salted Caramel Chips
    • optional:  Sea Salt on top of blondies

    I used Hershey's Kitchen Sea Salt Caramel Chips.  I bought the 4 pack from Amazon, because Sea Salted Caramel Chips can be good in so many things, right? I've used them in these Salted Caramel Pretzel & Peanut Dark Chocolate Brownies (For the Win!) so far and I concur...they are good!

    Butterscotch or white chocolate chips would also be wonderful in these, especially with a touch of sea salt randomly sprinkled on top. Sweet and salty vibes rock!

    How to Make Salted Caramel Apple Blondies

    1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the room temperature melted butter and brown sugar together until mixed well. Add egg and vanilla and mix to combine. Add flour and mix until just incorporated. Fold in chopped apples and salted caramel chips.
    3. Spread mixture into prepared baking pan so everything is even and level. Bake for 30-35 minutes. The center will not look wet anymore and edges will be slightly brown. Allow bars to cool before cutting. Lift out of pan by parchment paper ends and place on a cutting board and slice. For a special treat, serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream with some caramel sauce and devour!
    • Double apple blondies recipe and bake in 9x13 pan.
    • Store blondies sealed in a container or ziplock at room temperature for up to 3 days, or store in fridge for up to 3-5 days.
    • If you want these more like bars, add ½ teaspoon of baking powder with the flour.

    Fall is around the corner and salted caramel and apples in blondie bars are ready for the taking and easy mixing and baking too!  The hardest part is cutting up the apple...and waiting to devour!

    Everyone will be par-taking in these delectable Salted Caramel Chip Apple Blondies!

    And while we're talking about how good APPLES are in desserts...you might enjoy these!

      This is absolutely a recipe that I will be making repeatedly. I made a few adjustments for myself--reduced the sugar a bit, replaced the caramel chips with chopped walnuts, added some apple pie spice and a wee bit of almond extract--but the recipe is wonderfully simple and satisfying. It also smelled SO GOOD as it was baking.

      I could not find the salted caramel chips but I did find regular caramel pieces and I have sea salt ..how would I cook the two together to get the same taste? Or should I just bake with the regular caramel and then just add the sea salt on top?

      • Kim Lange says

        December 22, 2020 at 10:58 am

        I would do the latter Alicia. Hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays!

      These turned out great! 👍🏻👍🏻😋
      However, can they be frozen? If so, for how long?

      • Kim Lange says

        December 21, 2020 at 8:51 am

        Store blondies covered in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. You can also freeze up to 3 months. Thank you for trying these blondies and so happy to hear they turned out great Mia! Happy Holidays! xo

      If my chips are not salted, just caramel, , can I add Sea salt?

      Ok some mines came out cake like any tips?

      • Kim Lange says

        December 08, 2020 at 8:31 am

        Not sure what butter you used. Spreads with less fat contain more water, which will make bar cookies more cake-like and drier. Too little fat will result in dry or cake-like bar cookies. Other than that, something doesn't sound like it was measured correctly. Hope this helps Latisha?

      WOW! These came out so delicious and rich, with all the perfect textural qualities of a brownie. The recipe is spot on for amounts and times. I did use fuji apples instead of granny smith, as that's what I had and needed to use up. The fuji apples still kept a good texture and flavor in the finished product.

      I absolutely love baking with apples in the fall, and seeing this totally get me in the mood. Apples always seem to bring warm spices with them. 🙂

      Well, NOW I'm ready for apple season! Seriously, these look and sound so scrumptious! I was a dozen. Wondering how they'd turn out with my 1 to 1 GF flour. I'll let you know if I try it that way for my GF son. 🙂
