These Paleo Apple Blondies are moist and decadent, and topped off with the most amazing maple coconut glaze. It’s a delicious treat for the Fall!
Are you more of a blondies or brownies fan? i go back and forth, but right now, blondies are a bit head after I made these Paleo Apple Blondies recently. I don’t usually crave sweet treats, so I don’t know what’s happening with me these days. It may be the weather cooling down that I’m just reaching for things that bring me comfort, but at least I’m making healthier choices while doing it.

Paleo Apple Blondies Recipe
Recently, all I see are apples when I go to the farmers market or the grocery store, so I was inspired to create an apple dessert. Apples are so delicious these days, and I love using them in recipes because they have that perfect flavor combo of being sweet and tart at the same time.
In this recipe, they are baked into decadent baked blondies, and I love that you can really taste the apples in every bite. The sweet, yummy glaze brings out the apple flavor even more so make sure you don’t skip out on it!
Maple Coconut Glaze
The Paleo Apple Blondies themselves are tasty on their own, but the maple coconut glaze really takes it to a whole new level. The coconut butter is naturally sweet already so you don’t even need to add that much maple syrup to reach that perfect sweetness!
When heating up the ingredients for the maple glaze, make sure that you don’t use high heat, as it can harden the glaze. It’s best to heat it up low and slow so it reaches that thin and spreadable consistency.
If you don’t want to use the stovetop, you can even use the microwave. Just heat it up for 10 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it’s warm-hot and thinned out.
If you end up making these Paleo Apple Blondies, comment below and let me know how it goes! I stored mine in an airtight container the fridge, and I’ve been sneaking it after dinner every night and it’s such a yummy treat. I’ll always be a summer girl, but this dessert actually gets me me a little excited that Fall is here!

So many great flavors! The maple with the apple with the richness of coconut butter…..swoon!
I’ve never had apple blondies before and these are so yummy! I love that you use cassava flour and that glaze on the top is so good.
Oh MY what a special treat! I have a load of girls from school coming here Friday and I am definitely going to make this for them!
These look SOOO special!! Just the title got me! YUM!!! I love everything about them and can’t wait to me them!
Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard. Holy wow, this is beautiful, mouth-watering food!
This is such an easy, yummy and pretty recipe! My niece loves cakes like these with apples. I will be making this for her ASAP.
Oh. my. goodness. That glaze! Just gimme a spoon.
Perfect fall flavor all in one bar! That frosting looks so good with the coconut butter! My kids would be happy to find these waiting for them after school.
YUM! Love apple flavored blondie treats. They are gorgeous looking, too!
These apple blondies could be my new favorite dessert!
I love a good blondie brownie, and these look beyond incredible – that glaze!
Decadent! Wow.. LOVE the combination of flavours in this recipe!
I loved the taste of these but my glaze was nowhere near as ‘thick’ as your photos (not spreadable) and didn’t harden. I followed the recipe and melted it on the stove top. Any idea what may have gone wrong? Thanks!
Hi, can you tell me what kind of coconut butter you used? The glaze won’t harden like how solid coconut butter is at room temperature and it should be slightly sticky once cooled. When you melted the glaze mixture did you melt at a low heat? If it liquified completely, you can try cooling it a bit so it thickens before pouring on the glaze.
