Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 1/4 stick butter, unsalted, softened
1 c light brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 c dried apricots, chopped
1/2 c macadamia nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prep 8x8-inch square baking pan, use a non-stick spray.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • 4. Beat in egg until mixture is smooth. Add flour mixture in 3 increments until a dough forms.
  • 5. Mix in apricots and macadamia nuts.
  • 6. Place the dough into prepared pan and use spatula to even the dough out.
  • 7. Bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 8. Remove from the oven onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots. This will give your blondies the best flavor. If you can't find ripe apricots, you can use frozen or canned apricots, but thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the blondies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the blondies until they are just set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the blondies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Apricot blondies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party. With their sweet and tart flavor, apricot blondies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
