A delicious fall dessert recipe:  Apple Harvest Blondies

These beautiful blondie are packed with fresh apples.  Little bits of cream cheese swirled into the bars make them rich and delicious.

My husband couldn’t get enough of these. He asked me to ‘please take them away!’

   i had a hard time getting the cream cheese into pieces… i think more than an hour in the freezer is needed. i’ll also chop my apples into smaller pieces next time. but oh so good!

   Very good!! I added a little more brown sugar and cream cheese and I put the batter in cupcake pans so they looked better and it made it perfect treat to grab on the go. Loved it!

   these were pretty good. i used granny smith apples. dont skimp on the amount of apples and use a little more cream cheese. I read someone else said they are not pretty to look at but they are good-that is true. they can be mushy.

   This was delish! Would add more cream cheese for contrast to the sweetness, but overall a great fall recipe.
