Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before preparing the glaze.
- For the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the cooled blondies, slice, and enjoy!
