Healthy Apple Pie Blondies with Brown Sugar Frosting and Caramel Drizzle
   
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Bars, Blondies & Brownies
Servings: 9 blondies
Ingredients
Blondies:
  • 369g (1½ cups) Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 72g (½ cup) Pure Maple Sugar (or dry sweetener of choice)
  • 28g (2 tbs) Hazelnut Oil (or any other neutral oil)
  • 1-1½ tsp Apple Pie Spice
  • 160g (1 cup) Brown Rice Flour
  • 120g (1 cup) Oat Flour
  • 1¼ tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1½ cups Diced Apple (I used a Gala apple)
  • 2 tbs Lemon Juice
Frosting and Caramel:
Instructions
For the Blondies:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8" brownie pan with parchment paper both ways.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the applesauce, maple sugar, oil and apple pie spice.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice flour, oat flour, baking powder and salt.
  4. Slice the apple and spread lemon juice on it to prevent it from browning. Dice the apple then sprinkle on the remaining lemon juice.

  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together (batter should be somewhat thick, sticky and doughy). Fold in the apple.

  6. Scoop into the prepared pan and spread to the edges, bake for ~55 minutes, or until edges have browned and center is firm. Let cool in pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

For the Frosting:

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, stir together the sucanat and applesauce. Microwave at 20-second intervals, stirring between each one, until sucanat has completely melted and mixture is thin and runny.

  2. Whisk in the erythritol, scoop by scoop, until frosting is thick. Spread onto the cooled blondies.
