GLAZED APPLE-MAPLE BLONDIES
My 6-year-old son and I conjured up this recipe to use up the last of the apples we picked from the local apple orchard. Serve it with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. -Heather Bates, Athens, Maine

MAPLE-WALNUT BLONDIES
An autumnal riff on classic blondies, these are a treat for the true maple fanatic. Adding maple syrup to the batter and toasting the walnuts in maple syrup gives the blondies double the maple flavor, while a splash of bourbon in the batter mellows the sweetness. Make sure to underbake these slightly: The key to moist, chewy blondies is to take them out just before they're fully baked. Refrigerate the blondies for optimal chewiness; they're especially good straight from the fridge.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-by-8-inch pan with butter and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
- Make the optional maple nuts: In a small sauté pan, heat the walnuts, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Cook, tossing often, until the nuts are lightly toasted and the bottom of the pan looks dry, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board to cool, roughly chop, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, egg, vanilla and bourbon, if using, and whisk until smooth. Add the flour, salt, baking powder and nutmeg, and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle the walnuts, if using, evenly on top. Bake for 21 to 23 minutes, until the bars are just starting to brown at the edges. They should seem slightly underbaked and will firm up as they cool.
- Sprinkle the blondies lightly with salt, allow to cool to room temperature in the pan. When completely cool, remove from the pan using the parchment paper, then cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to quickly and easily chop the walnuts.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop the walnuts by hand with a sharp knife.
- Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the blondies dry and crumbly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the blondies tough.
- Bake the blondies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the blondies cool completely before glazing them.
- If you don't have maple syrup, you can use another type of sweetener, such as honey or agave nectar.
- The blondies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Conclusion:
Apple walnut blondies with maple butter glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. The blondies are moist and flavorful, with a chewy texture. The maple butter glaze adds a sweet and decadent touch. This recipe is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party.
