Years ago, Aunt Glennis is no longer with us,
0:04
but we would spend, for 25 Thanksgivings,
0:07
we spent at Aunt Glennis and Uncle Bernie's house
0:12
And those were just wonderful family times
0:15
with the Hiers side of the family, my daddy's side.
0:19
And she always made these blondies,
0:23
and we just ate 'em like we would never get another one.
0:28
Well, I'm doing a blondie this morning,
0:30
but there's a twist on this one, so I hope you like it.
0:34
Now we're starting out with a 13 x 9 x 2 pan
0:37
and a piece of parchment paper.
0:40
And I'm gonna lightly spray this
0:47
I'm missing some of it.
0:49
Oh, that's not too lightly,
0:52
but it's the best I can do. (chuckles)
0:55
So we're gonna leave these sides over
0:59
so we can lift this out and let it cool.
1:02
So I've got two, I think it's two and a fourth cup.
1:06
No, one and a fourth cups of melted butter.
1:12
And I'm gonna put it in our bowl
1:16
along with our brown sugar and our white sugar.
1:24
Sounds good already, doesn't it? (chuckles)
1:29
I mean, it's gotta be good
1:31
with that much butter, doesn't it? (chuckles)
1:38
All right, we wanna just make sure we get that sugar,
1:43
all of that sugar, good and wet in that butter.
1:48
And now, we're going to add some eggs,
2:03
some vanilla extract.
2:10
Those are the prettiest eggs.
2:14
These homegrown eggs,
2:18
the yolks are just like sunshine.
2:21
They're just gold, orangey gold.
2:36
All right, now the vanilla extract.
2:47
Starting to look like a blondie.
2:50
All right, now in this bowl,
2:52
we're gonna mix together our all-purpose flour,
3:21
And y'all will notice that we got,
3:23
we're doing caramel bites in this blondie.
3:29
All right, so we mix our flour, baking powder, and salt,
3:33
and we're gonna add it, add the flour to the butter mixture.
3:38
And this is very important
3:44
that you get no dry streaks in this.
3:48
You wanna mix it until everything is wet.
3:56
So that may take a minute.
4:00
it's gonna take a minute incorporating all that flour,
4:03
but I don't see any dry spots.
4:06
All right, now I'm gonna add our chopped apple,
4:20
I have such a hard time with these glass,
4:26
And every time I do it, I think about that day on Oprah,
4:31
where I dropped it in the mixer.
4:37
All right, so we're gonna fold those in.
4:40
And the last thing we're gonna fold in
4:42
is our caramel bites, bits.
5:03
You know, fall just brings us
5:05
the most beautiful, beautiful apples.
5:10
And so I really like taking advantage
5:15
of this time of year in using all the apples I can.
5:22
My favorite way though
5:25
to eat good old apples
5:29
is when I make fried pies, fried apple pies.
5:32
They are so, so, so good.
5:41
I'm gonna put our batter in here.
5:45
And when I get it all in there,
5:47
we're going to level it out.
6:42
Just spread that out as evenly as we can.
6:47
And we're putting it in a 350 degree oven
6:52
for probably about 40 minutes, something like that.
6:55
We'll keep an eye on it.
6:57
All right, y'all, I have completely cooled our blondies,
7:01
and they look so good,
7:03
but, you know, they need a little topping, just a little,
7:07
so we're gonna drizzle a little topping on this.
7:11
I've got one tablespoon of heavy cream,
7:14
and I've got a fourth of a cup of the little caramel bits.
7:17
And I'm gonna go in there
7:18
and I'm gonna heat it in the microwave
7:23
until it's, you know, together.
7:25
But I'm gonna do it in like 30-second intervals
7:28
'cause I don't wanna overdo it.
7:30
All right, y'all, I wound up doing this
7:32
for about 40 seconds.
7:37
So I'm gonna try to drizzle this
7:40
on there real pretty-like. (chuckles)
7:44
It's not wanting to drizzle.
7:45
I may have to heat it some more.
7:48
This just doesn't drizzle real pretty.
7:50
Probably need to add a little bit more cream.
8:00
It's starting to drizzle a little bit.
8:05
Oh, I have cut me a piece
8:06
that doesn't have any caramel on it.
8:12
Let's see if I can fix that.
8:17
Here's a little drop.
8:27
Caramel apple blondie, y'all.
8:46
Taking care of the apple season. (laughs)
8:52
but make twice as much more caramel sauce, y'all. (chuckles)
8:58
