Missing out on our cider donuts this year? Don’t worry — we’ve got just the thing to hold you and your family over until next season! This Apple Cider Blondie recipe captures that same warm, spiced sweetness you love and will make the perfect Thanksgiving dessert (or cozy treat any day of the week).


Made with our very own Selmi’s Unpasteurized Apple Cider, these blondies are rich, chewy, and full of orchard-fresh flavor. Every bite tastes like a fall stroll through Selmi’s orchard.


Here’s the blondie ingredients you’ll need:


Blondies Recipe:

  • 2 cups Selmi’s Unpasteurized Apple Cider

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 ¾ cups light brown sugar, lightly packed

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt


Spice Topping Recipe:

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground apple pie spice


Apple Cider Blondie Instructions


  1. Reduce the cider: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook Selmi’s Unpasteurized Apple Cider for 20–22 minutes or until reduced to about ¼ cup. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Preheat the oven: Heat to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and yolk one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and the reduced cider.

  4. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gently stir into the wet mixture until fully combined.

  5. Add the topping: Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Mix granulated sugar and apple pie spice together, then sprinkle evenly over the top.

  6. Bake: Bake for 35–38 minutes, until edges turn golden and the center is set. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting.


These blondies taste amazing warm but get even better after a day or two (if they last that long). Pair one with a glass of Selmi’s Apple Cider for the ultimate fall treat.
