Applebee's Maple Butter Blondie
Chewy white chocolate walnut blondies topped with a sinful maple brown sugar sauce. Make your favorite Applebee's dessert at home for a fraction of the cost.
I love making copycat recipes at home. Some of my favorites so far are Taco Bell's Cinnabon delights and Applebee's Fiesta Lime Chicken. My latest creation is also an Applebee's Copycat. Their maple butter blondie is out-of-this-world decadent. The blondie itself is thick and chewy with tons of mix-ins. Then the whole thing is smothered with a maple caramel sauce that is so addictive.
The ice cream is optional, but highly recommended. We love making this recipe for Sunday Supper, birthdays, and bake sales alike.

You should replace your baking soda and powder every 6-12 months. As they expire, they will make your baked goods rise less.

This looks so yummy, would be perfect dessert for our family gathering coming very soon. I will keep this in mind to try it. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Happy to know that this doesn't need a mixer. This might come in handy when I need to prepare dessert whenever we are traveling and simply staying in an airbnb. Thank you for sharing the tips and recipe. Can't wait to try.
I haven't been to Applebee's in forever so I didn't even know about this dessert, but the copycat maple butter blondie recipe you're sharing is so awesome! My husband is a huge maple fan, so this is his favorite now!
I have to try making these blondies! I've been looking for a copycat recipe for the longest time.
I have a weakness for sweets and these look amazing! I am saving this recipe to try one day.
This is about 10,000% better than Applebee's! I can see the inspiration, but this really is much better. You can't beat fresh from your own oven!
That Maple Butter Sauce looks amazing! This is definitely a dessert I could not resist!
Thanks Christina!
I've never actually tried Applebee's Blondie. But after seeing this recipe, I think I'll be making a pit stop there, soon 😉 And I can imagine that this homemade kind is even better! Especially when they're drowned in that maple butter sauce! 😀
Your copycat recipe for Applebee’s Maple Butter Blondie looks absolutely amazing! I love how you’ve recreated this classic dessert—can’t wait to make it at home and enjoy that warm, gooey goodness!
