Follow these simple steps to bring your Salted Caramel Apple Blondies to life:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top of the batter, using a knife to swirl it gently for a marbled effect.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be golden brown, and the center should be set.
9. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before lifting the blondies out using the parchment overhang.
10. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle with sea salt flakes before serving.

These blondies are forgiving and come together quickly, making them perfect for those moments when you’re juggling dinner prep and homework help at the same time.
