Apple Blondies

Tasty and soft cakes filled with spices and lots of apple!

Ingredients
* 113g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
* 2 medium sized apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4 inch chunks
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* 100g caster sugar
* 100g light brown sugar
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* Pinch of salt
* 1/2 tsp ground cinnam
* 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
* 175g plain flour

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and grease and line an 8x8 inch tray
2. Place chopped apple into a bowl and pour over the lemon juice. Toss to coat the apple and leave to one side.
3. Place sugars, egg and vanilla extract into a large bowl and whisk until smooth. 
4. Gradually pour in the melted butter, whisking while you add it in, until the mixture is smooth and pale.
5. Take 2tbsp of the flour and place in the bowl with the apples. Toss the apple chunks in the flour and leave to one side.
6. Add in the rest of the flour, baking powder, salt, spices to the sugar and egg mixture and whisk together. 
7. Once thick and well combined, tip in the coated apples and fold in with a spoon until all of the apples are coated in blondie mix.
8. Tip into the prepared tray and smooth over with a spatula/palette knife.
9. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are lightly brown and the centre is a very pale golden colour. A skewer, inserted into the centre, should come out clean
10. Leave to cool in the tray for 1 hour before transferring to a chopping board to cool completely. (leaving them to cool completely in the pan will make them too soft to remove from the pan in one piece)
11. Once cool, slice into pieces and keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to 4 days.
