# Apple Cider Caramel Blondies | Made In - Made In

Apple cider brings big fall flavor to the spiced caramel swirled into these blondies, which get their fudgy consistency from high-quality white chocolate. 

While many blondies have a light caramel flavor from the combination of butter and brown sugar, Chef Hilly O’Hanlon of [Milk Bar](https://milkbarstore.com/) goes a step further by incorporating caramel into the batter. Most of the liquid portion of the caramel is apple cider, which when paired with warming spices like cardamom and allspice, has a flavor reminiscent of candy apples. The blondies share more in common with a classic brownie as well, using Chef Tosi’s tip of adding white chocolate to make a similarly fudgy texture.

You’ll only use about half of the apple cider caramel, so use the rest to top vanilla ice cream or make candy. To make caramels, pour the remaining liquid into a Baking Dish greased and lined with parchment paper and allow to set until firm to the touch. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, slice into squares with a greased knife, and wrap individually with wax paper like salt water taffy.

The limited-edition Milk Bar x Made In 8x8 Baking Dish is now sold out, but you can shop the dish in other colorways below.
