Healthier chicken tenders are finally here and are so delicious! Grab your baking sheet and enjoy these  delicious chicken tenders any time at home.

We are huge chicken tender fans! From game day get togethers to quick weeknight meals, chicken tenders are frequently at the top of our list. But, I don’t love that they are almost always fried.

Bourbon Apple Blondies – Easy Fall Desserts

October 31, 2019 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Fall apples get turned into the perfect fall dessert with this recipe for bourbon apple blondies. With just a touch of bourbon, these blondies be requested over and over once you share them with anyone.

Fall for a lot of people means apple picking…especially around my area. We have tons of orchards to go pick your own apples. Of course, after all that apple picking, you need something to DO with all those apples. Bourbon apple blondies are a perfect option when you are craving yummy fall desserts!

Bourbon Apple Blondies

Simple dessert bars are a great option but sometimes I crave something with a bit more flare. That is why I love this blond variation speckled with butterscotch chips and apples and flavored with bourbon vanilla.

Thsee apple brownies are just as easy as classic brownies, but perfect for those days you want to serve a common dessert with twist. You can easily create the flavors of caramel apple in a bar! And who doesn’t love finding new fall baking recipes?!

Bourbon Apple Blondies

The most time-consuming aspect of this recipe is cutting and cooking the apple. After that, it is really a matter of combining all the ingredients into one rich concoction and spreading it into the pan.

Remember to closely follow directions and not over-stir so the bars will be moist and soft. Just fold the ingredients for these apple brownies together and stir until just mixed together.
