Ingredients
  

For the Streusel Topping

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup quick-cooking oats
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter cold and diced
  • ½ cup pecans chopped

For the Apple Layer

  • 3 large Granny Smith apples peel and chopped into a 1-inch (3 cm) dice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Blondie Base

  • 1⅔ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup butter melted
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Make the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, oats, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Rub in the cold butter with your fingers (or use a pastry blender) until the mixture is crumbly, then toss in the pecans. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the Apple Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples with the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Make the Blondie Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and melted butter, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt, then stir into the brown sugar mixture until just combined.
  • Spread the blondie base evenly into your prepared pan, then top with the apples and finally the streusel topping.
  • Bake for 45 - 55 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is nicely browned. Let cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
  • This is best the day it is made but store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream and Apple Cider Caramel Sauce on top.
