Wonderful! I used real maple syrup, and it turned out very similar to the Applebee's blondie. Careful, though, these seem to have aphrodisiac properties...!

Every time we make this, it gets rave reviews! Making it again tonight to bring to a party--our only substitutions are that we stir in butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate chips and we leave the nuts in a dish to the side of the sauce in case some folks don't want them. There's NEVER any leftovers with this dessert. I use the real VT maple syrup, too, straight from a family member's sugar shack up in the hills!

Sauce tasted the same used real syrup. Blondie not quite the same but still very good.

This brownie is delicious! The sauce - not so much. Definitely not like Applebee's and not very good. When I make it again, I will add less maple syrup which may be better. I also used butterscotch chips in the brownie and it was great!

I know what is missing in the maple butter sauce after experimenting in my kitchen to get the exact flavor of the sauce. It is around 4 oz of soften cream cheese to the mixture you already have and leave the nuts out. The one at the restaurant has a smooth tan color and a tang at the finish. That is what is missing in all the recipes I have been reading on this. Also the recipe only makes this thin strong nutty brownie (it is very tasty) in a 9x9 or smaller dish. The brownie served at applebee's is much "fuller" and fluffier than this one is.... still a great recipe though!

White chocolate works better in the maple sauce and 350 degrees on top oven rack and spread dow thin about 1/2 inch in pan.

I KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE SAUCE TASTE THE SAME AS APPLEBEE'S!! Hey I just thought I would comment on this and let you guys know the secret to making the sauce right!! So, I was eating the Maple Butter Blondie the other day when I went to Apple Bees because its one of the only good desserts they have left since they got rid of the Sizzling Apple Pie.. Anyways, I went home and googled for the recipe and found this one. Well, i was tasting the sauce and then looked at this recipe and realized it wasn't going to be the same(from cooking experience). One of the MAIN components and thickeners to the sauce is CREAM CHEESE. Yup, it's CREAM CHEESE eve... read more
