We love this delicious dessert when we go to Applebee’s. It’s full of rich buttery brown sugar and maple flavors. Loaded with white chocolate chips! It is served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We came home and created our own!! It’s pretty close to the real thing!

I have waited forever for a recipe like this. These Maple Butter Blondies are one of the main if not only reason I go to AppleBee's. Thanks for sharing...I can't wait to try!
-
Love blondies and this one sounds good.
-
I made it twice. We like it better without the ice cream, I just pour the caramel over the Blondie and let set, cut and eat. Everyone loved it!!

do you have nutritional info on the brownies?
-
I made this tonight and they were so yummy! Thanks!
-
Something is terribly wrong. I followed this recipe and it has been cooking for almost an hour. It's still runny and liquidy. I have no idea what went wrong but I am soooooo sad. What a waste of that awesome syrup topping! ;(
-
I'm guessing Wanda put the maple syrup on them before baking.
-
This sounds yummy! That is one of my favorite restaurant desserts. Is the maple syrup just regular syrup like you would use with pancakes? Or do I need something specific? Thanks!
-
What grade and color of maple syrup is recommended for this recipe?
-
Have you ever tried putting the brownie batter into a pie shell? I am trying to copy a local restaurants version of their Maple blondie pie.

Hi, I?m guessing Wanda put the maple syrup on them before baking.

What kind of flour Pain or self rising

So glad I found this recipe! I was craving the restaurant version but they don't have it anymore! This is even BETTER! Totally perfect and super tasty! 10/10!

We love this so much. I’ve made it so many times. Question: the sauce makes so much. How long does it last in the fridge or can I freeze it? This way I can make the brownies again and the sauce would already be made. Thoughts please.

These were amazing. The only problem I had was that the cream cheese never fully melted into the sauce, so we had little bits of cream cheese in it. Next time I might cream the sauce ingredients together and then gently heat it until it's of a sauce consistency. I also doubled the brownies AND the sauce and there's no need to double the sauce. We had plenty left over. These are so good, I'm looking forward to making them again!
-
I had the same trouble with the cream cheese not melting well.
-
I was having the same problem but I popped the sauce into my magic bullet and ran it a couple times and it blended right in and tasted perfect.

Should a specific butter be used? Salted vs unsalted? Thinking of using the imperial butter sticks.
-
