The traditional blondie recipe, a chocolate-less version of the brownie, gets a summer makeover in this recipe. Fresh apples and cherries make for a tart and tangy dessert bar that will have the whole neighborhood over for samples.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, melted
1 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1 cup pitted, halved cherries
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9×9 inch baking dishes.
2. In a large bowl, beat together melted butter, sugar, and eggs until fluffy. Fold in apples, cherries, and pecans.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir flour mixture into wet mixture until just blended. Spread batter evenly in prepared baking dishes.
4. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each dish comes out clean.
