When life (or your co-worker) hands you apples, make apple blondies!

My co-worker picked a pile of these fabulous fresh apples for me and I couldn’t figure out what to do with them.  I was looking for something sweet but also a little different, so when a pinterest search brought me to this fabulous recipe from Nums The Word I was sold.

I’m a huge fan of blondies – they are usually fluffier/fudgier textured than a true “bar” and generally super easy to make.  Light a pumpkin candle while making these and you will check all of the fall boxes 😉

Enjoy!
