Spiced Apple Cider Blondies

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease or spray a square 8×8 baking dish.

In a small bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, salt and apple cider packets. Set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Mix in the brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Mix in the egg, followed by the vanilla and stir until combined.

Add in the flour mixture, small amounts at a time, until fully incorporated. Fold in apples. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. The middle will be just set and the edges will be slightly brown. Watch carefully as not to overcook. Cool completely before cutting.

Cassie’s notes:
The first time I made these, I used 2 small Gala apples and then used s small Granny Smith the second time. I much prefer the tartness that the Granny Smiths add but I think any variety of apple that you like or have on hand will do.
