Brown Butter Cinnamon Swirl Snickerdoodle Blondies

Half Baked Harvest's holiday cookie-bar favorite — nutty browned butter and sweet apple butter baked into gooey blondies swirled with frozen cinnamon-sugar chunks and topped with a snickerdoodle cinnamon-sugar crust.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/3 cup apple butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Make cinnamon swirl: mix 3 tbsp brown sugar with 1 tbsp melted butter and 1 tsp cinnamon; freeze in small chunks.
  2. Brown the butter in a saucepan until nutty and golden; cool slightly, then whisk in brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and apple butter.
  3. Fold in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; mix in frozen cinnamon chunks and chocolate chips.
  4. Spread dough in a greased 8x8 pan; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350F until edges are set and center is gooey, 25-30 min.
