Bourbon Apple Blondies – Easy Fall Desserts

October 31, 2019 By Shannah Coe 13 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.

This post has been sponsored by Dr Pepper®. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Cherry Dr Pepper® brownie bites are the perfect game day treat. With just two ingredients, you can create fudgy brownie bites that are perfect for popping in your mouth during the commercial break.

We’re huge football fans in the My Suburban Kitchen household, but one of our favorite parts of game day is, of course, the food! Finger foods are a must and, for a sweet treat, I always make Cherry Dr Pepper Brownie Bites. They are a game day winner every time, and it’s so easy to pick up everything I need at my local Stop & Shop.

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

November 16, 2018 By Shannah Coe 13 Comments

White chocolate oatmeal cranberry cookies combine all the best flavors of a Christmas cookie in one simple recipe. I highly recommend making a double batch because these cranberry oatmeal cookies are always crazy popular.

For as long as I can remember, cookies and Christmas go hand in hand. My grandmother used to spend day after day making all kinds of delicious Christmas treats. No one came to visit without getting a plate of goodies to take home. As I’ve gotten older, I try to do the same for my family and friends. Mathlete loves oatmeal cookies so it only makes sense to include some version in our holiday baking. My favorite are white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies.
