These blondies remind me so much of those, mainly because of the balance between tart green apples and sweet sugary ingredients! If apples are one of your favorite ingredients to play around with during Fall, you’re going to positively LOVE this easy recipe.

Besides having the best balance of tart and sweet Fall flavors, these blondies are also perfection because of just how great they are once baked.

After all, eating these blondies while watching Hocus Pocus is always a good idea.

They sure can! After they cool to room temperature, wrap each individual slice in plastic wrap (do so very tightly), then toss them in a durable zip-top bag. They’ll stay fresh for about 3 months in the freezer. To enjoy, simply let the blondies thaw at room temperature for about an hour.
