I wanted something plump full of apple flavor, but also rich and winter-y. Using the blondie base (minus the coffee and chocolate) made for a moist, rich bar, but the added liquid from the apples made if feel almost underbaked, even though I had steamed them beforehand. I added streusel on the top to mimic the bread recipe, but that was too much extra sugar and butter. <\/p>\n<p>I started over, and this time I added another egg for structure and swapped the streusel for a cinnamon-sugar topping. <strong>After it baked, I was met with what I like to call an almost-cake: it was a perfect cross-between a blondie and a snack cake, with a moist, rich base and lots of flavor.<\/strong> My family voted that it was still closer to cake than a blondie so I have named it here accordingly, but my kids now refer to this dessert as \u201cApple Clondies\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevanillabeanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/apple-snack-cake-3.jpg\" alt=\"apple blondie snack cake in a pan\" class=\"wp-image-21198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thevanillabeanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/apple-snack-cake-3.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/www.thevanillabeanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/apple-snack-cake-3-650x867.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.thevanillabeanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/apple-snack-cake-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thevanillabeanblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/apple-snack-cake-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking with Apples<\/h2>\n<p>Apples take a long time to break down during baking, so often I like to give them a head start. Just like in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevanillabeanblog.com\/apple-morning-buns\/\">Apple Morning Bun recipe<\/a>, I found that steaming the apples in apple cider not only helped the apples soften, but also pumped them full of more flavor as the cider soaked into the apples. However, if you don\u2019t have cider on hand, water also works well. <\/p>\n<p><strong>I also cut the apples into thin, bite-sized pieces.<\/strong> I prefer the apples to bake down into the cake, instead of biting into big chunks. Cutting them thin along with the steaming helped the apples almost melt into the cake, giving lots of flavor and good texture.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Jack adds another kick of flavor, but I have made this cake by steaming the apples with water and no apple jack, and it still was delicious! <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been a fan of using <strong>Gala apples<\/strong> in my baking, as they have a sweet and tart flavor profile, and are crisp and juicy, with light floral notes. I like how they break down during baking, and are not overly tart, or overly sweet. However, if you have a favorite baking apple, you can use that here instead.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1602\"
