Apple Streusel Blondies

Apple Streusel Blondies

Yay, fall is finally here! My favorite time of the year for baking delicious desserts. Here are some apple streusel blondies that definitely bring in the fall season with a bang. These blondies are loaded with apples, walnuts, and a delicious streusel topping, making a scrumptious fall dessert everyone will love.

Chewy, with a crunchy topping, makes these apple streusel blondies irresistable. Look at all the apple chunks throughout these blondies. 

Imagine taking these from the oven, letting them cool just a bit, adding a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and enjoying this fabulous dessert.  Oh man, so good. While I was taking photos for this post, I could not stop eating these. These are pretty serious, meaning YUM!

Pecans would be a great addition to add as well. Apples and pecans go so well together! Oooh, and a caramel drizzle on top of the streusel would be great too!

A perfect dessert for fall. And a perfect dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas too! Actually anytime would be a great time to sink your teeth into these babies.

I ran across an apple blondie recipe from Annie’s Noms that sounded delicious. I had lots of apples that needed to be used so these apple streusel blondies are the result. What I did differently was I doubled her recipe, added some walnuts and made a streusel topping to change it up a bit. Seriously, so good and the topping just adds more delicious flavor.
