Apple Blondies for Thanksgiving!

When Shi asked me to pretty please make an apple surprise to share at the gym for Thanksgiving I did a search for a snack with lots of apples which would be easy to serve and  eat for a quick snack.

This is what I found.  It was certainly a success for the girls at the gym and my family at home.

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 cups finely chopped apples. 

2 cups sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1/3 cups orange juice

2 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp salt

 

·         Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.

·         Peel and core about 3-4 apples.  Finely chop apples.  (You can pulse in a food processor)

·         In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.  Whisk together.

·         Add eggs, oil, and orange juice.  Mix well.

·         Fold in diced apples

·         Spread in prepared baking pan.

·         Bake at 324 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.  (It’s done when toothpick comes out clean)
