Recipe adapted from Sweet Pea’s Kitchen and Cookies and Cups
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I certainly did. I don’t want to see any ham, stuffing or mashed potatoes for a while though! With Christmas right around the corner I am sure many of you are busy decorating and planning out your holiday baking. While these may not be a very traditional holiday treat, they are certainly a very delicious one! I have actually made these three times already, which rarely ever happens for me anymore. The first time I made them without the frosting (mainly to save time), and they were fabulous by themselves. The second (and third) time I added the frosting, and it takes them to a whole new level. They are by far the the most moist and chewy blondies I have ever eaten. The apple and toffee combination is fantastic, and I would love to try it again with other recipes. Enjoy!
