My 6-year-old son and I conjured up this recipe to use up the last of the apples we picked from the local apple orchard. Serve it with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. -Heather Bates, Athens, Maine

ALMOST-FAMOUS MAPLE-BUTTER BLONDIES
When two brothers opened the first Applebee's in 1980, they gave it the clunky name T.J. Applebee's Rx for Edibles & Elixirs. The name changed six years later, but the chain's insanely popular Maple-Butter Blondies didn't come along until 2004. They're made with walnuts and white chocolate and served in a sizzling skillet with ice cream and maple-butter sauce. Applebee's sells about 2.5 million of the sundaes every year, and readers like Julie Thornton of Dover, PA, have been begging us to track down the recipe. The eatery's Kansas headquarters refused to reveal it, so Food Network Kitchens engineered this spot-on imitation.

Steps:
- Make the blondies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter the foil. Pulse 1/2 cup walnuts in a food processor until almost fine (do not overprocess). Whisk the ground nuts, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat 10 tablespoons butter and the brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until the blondies are light brown around the edges and spring back when pressed, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack.
- Meanwhile, make the topping: Place the maple syrup and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens, swirling the pan, about 6 minutes. Add the cream and continue to cook until the mixture is the consistency of caramel.
- Use the foil to lift the blondies out of the pan, then cut into large bars. Serve warm topped with ice cream, the maple-butter sauce and the walnuts.

APPLEBEE'S MAPLE BUTTER BLONDIE
This recipe is a combination of the two recipes that are already out there on the internet. I played around with making this dessert a little bit more cakey and the sauce a little creamier and this is what i created. (BTW, I work at Applebees so I am always around the dessert!)

MAPLE-WALNUT BLONDIES
An autumnal riff on classic blondies, these are a treat for the true maple fanatic. Adding maple syrup to the batter and toasting the walnuts in maple syrup gives the blondies double the maple flavor, while a splash of bourbon in the batter mellows the sweetness. Make sure to underbake these slightly: The key to moist, chewy blondies is to take them out just before they're fully baked. Refrigerate the blondies for optimal chewiness; they're especially good straight from the fridge.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-by-8-inch pan with butter and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
- Make the optional maple nuts: In a small sauté pan, heat the walnuts, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Cook, tossing often, until the nuts are lightly toasted and the bottom of the pan looks dry, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board to cool, roughly chop, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, egg, vanilla and bourbon, if using, and whisk until smooth. Add the flour, salt, baking powder and nutmeg, and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle the walnuts, if using, evenly on top. Bake for 21 to 23 minutes, until the bars are just starting to brown at the edges. They should seem slightly underbaked and will firm up as they cool.
- Sprinkle the blondies lightly with salt, allow to cool to room temperature in the pan. When completely cool, remove from the pan using the parchment paper, then cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to finely chop the walnuts. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the blondies.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the walnuts by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the blondies tough.
- Bake the blondies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the blondies cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.
- If you don't have maple syrup, you can use honey or corn syrup instead.
- The blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Apple walnut blondies with maple glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to picnics to holiday parties. The blondies are moist and chewy, with a sweet and nutty flavor. The maple glaze adds a touch of extra sweetness and flavor. These blondies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
