Applebee's Maple Butter Blondie

This recipe is a combination of the two recipes that are already out there on the internet. I played around with making this dessert a little bit more cakey and the sauce a little creamier and this is what i created. (btw, i work at applebees so i am always around the dessert!)!

Steps

Preheat oven to 350f.

Sift the flour , then add baking soda , baking powder , and salt.

Sift all together into small bowl.

Add chopped nuts , mix , then set aside.

Add melted butter , brown sugar , beaten eggs , and vanilla in a bigger bowl and mix well.

Add flour mixture , slowly while mixing.

Stir in white chocolate chips or chunks.

Add water and stir so batter is even.

Pour into 9x9x2 inch pan.

Bake for about 25 minutes till toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool then serve with vanilla bean ice cream , maple butter sauce , and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

Maple butter sauce:.

Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat.

Add cream cheese a little bit at a time , whisking fast until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Increase flame to medium-high while whisking continuously till sauce bubbles and thickens.
