Ingredients and Substitutions
Choosing the right ingredients is essential for crafting the perfect sugar-free maple glazed apple blondie. Lakanto's Monk Fruit Sweetener provides a deliciously sweet taste without the calories and carbs found in traditional sugars, allowing you to enjoy your blondies guilt-free.
If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, several alternative ingredients can be used. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour, both of which offer unique flavors and textures that complement the sweet apple notes beautifully. For those avoiding dairy, replace butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine, ensuring everyone can indulge in these scrumptious apple blondies.
When selecting apples, the variety you choose can make a significant difference in taste and texture. Sweet and crisp apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala work exceptionally well, as they retain their moisture during baking and infuse the blondies with natural sweetness. For a tart contrast, Granny Smith apples can add an exciting depth to your treat. Ensure the apples are fresh for the best flavor and texture in your sugar-free maple glazed apple blondies.
How to Make Sugar Free Maple Glazed Apple Blondies
Creating your own sugar-free maple glazed apple blondies is a delightful and straightforward process!
Ingredients:
Blondies
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1/4 cup Classic Monkfruit & Allulose Sweetener
- 1 cup Brown Sweetener
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Apple Filling
- 2 large apples chopped finely
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sweetener
- 1 Tbsp butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Maple Glaze
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
- 1/2 cup Lakanto Powdered Sweetener
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a11x7 inch baking pan.
- On med-low heat, cook apple filling mixture for about 3-4 minutes. Pull off heat and allow to cool.
- Cream butter until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in brown sweetener and classic allulose, and mix until well combined.
- Add in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add in salt and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
- In the bottom of the pan, spread half the blondie batter evenly, using a spatula (or your hands--batter is very thick, so it’s easier to spread with my hands)
- Spread apple filling all over the layer.
- Top with remaining blondie batter and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
For the perfect texture, ensure you don’t overmix the batter, as this can lead to denser blondies. Keeping your apples chopped into small, uniform pieces allows for even distribution throughout the blondie, enhancing both flavor and texture. Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delectable sugar-free maple glazed apple blondies, a perfect treat for any occasion!
Storage and Serving Suggestions
To keep your delicious sugar-free maple glazed apple blondies fresh and flavorful, it's essential to store them correctly. Allow the blondies to cool completely before storing. Once cooled, place them in an airtight container. For optimal freshness, store them at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate them for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them; wrap each blondie tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to three months.
When it comes to serving, these apple blondies shine when paired with complementary flavors. Consider serving them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream. A sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Syrup can enhance their sweetness and add a delicious touch. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a warm cup of spiced apple cider or tea.
If you have leftovers and want to enjoy them warm, reheating is easy. Place a blondie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or until warmed through. To maintain freshness, avoid overheating, as this can dry them out. You can also reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. This will keep the edges nice and chewy while warming the center just right, ensuring every bite is as delightful as the first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these blondies vegan?
Absolutely! To create a vegan version of these sugar-free maple glazed apple blondies, substitute the eggs with a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture. For each egg, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water, and let it sit for about five minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients while maintaining the moist texture you desire.
How to adjust the sweetness level?
If you prefer a sweeter blondie, you can easily adjust the sweetness by adding more Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener. This natural sweetener is a fantastic alternative to sugar, providing the sweetness you crave without the guilt. Start by adding an extra tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired level of sweetness. Remember to taste the batter as you go to ensure you get it just right!
What to do if I don’t have maple syrup?
Alternatively, you can use agave nectar or honey if you're not strictly adhering to a sugar-free diet. Just be mindful that these options may slightly alter the final taste and sweetness of your blondies.
