Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a metal 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with baking spray.

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl use a hand mixer to cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar together until light. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and maple extract and mix until combined.

Add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix until almost combined.

Add the apples and fold them in. Don’t overmix.

Press evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 26-31 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If at the 26-minute mark your blondies are already golden brown on top but still too gooey in the middle, you can lightly place a piece of foil on top to tent the blondies and not let get too brown on top

Remove the pan to sit on a wire cooling rack for 15-20 minutes before removing the blondies to finish cooling.

Remove from pan, cut and serve warm, room temperature or even refrigerated.
