Instructions

Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until fragrant, then allow to cool.
In another skillet, sauté the chopped apples with butter and cinnamon for about 10 minutes until tender. Cool completely.
In a bowl, whisk together cooled browned butter and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in cooled caramelized apples.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour batter into a prepared baking pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool.
For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup until fluffy.
Once blondies are cool, frost evenly and cut into squares.
