APRICOT ANGEL BROWNIES
To tell the truth, I'm not a "chocoholic". I enjoy fruit desserts and custards more than anything. So my brownies have neither milk nor dark chocolate-but still satisfy every sweet tooth. Though my husband and I live in a townhouse, I grow lots of vegetables...in containers on our back deck!

APRICOT ANGEL BROWNIES
Bless the person who originally posted this recipe. Originally published as Apricot Angel Brownies in Country Woman January/February 1994. These "brownies" do not have any milk or dark chocolate at all, just white baking chocolate. They are soooo good that just a small piece will satisfy almost any sweet tooth. Nothing like...

What are Apricot Angel Brownies?
Apricot Angel Brownies are a delicious dessert that blends the flavors of apricots with rich chocolate to create a unique and heavenly treat. This dessert is perfect for those who want a different twist on traditional brownies and a way to incorporate fruit into their desserts.
The Ingredients:
Apricot Angel Brownies have a few key ingredients that make them stand out from other brownie recipes. These include:
- Apricot Jam: This is the star ingredient of the recipe and it adds a sweet, fruity flavor to the brownies.
- Dark Chocolate: For a rich, indulgent taste, dark chocolate is used in this recipe. It pairs perfectly with the apricot jam.
- Eggs: Eggs are used to create a light and fluffy texture in the brownies.
- Flour: Flour helps to bind the ingredients together and create a dense, gooey texture.
- Sugar: A small amount of sugar is needed to sweeten the brownies.
- Baking Powder: Baking powder is used to help the brownies rise and become light and fluffy.
- Butter: Butter adds moisture and richness to the brownies.
The Method:
Making Apricot Angel Brownies is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps:
Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare the baking pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper. This will prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate and butter
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and butter over low heat. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning.
Step 3: Mix together the remaining ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, apricot jam, sugar, flour, and baking powder until smooth.
Step 4: Add the melted chocolate and butter to the mixing bowl
Stir the melted chocolate and butter into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients until everything is well combined.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake the brownies
Bake the Apricot Angel Brownies for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be sure not to overbake, as this will cause the brownies to become dry and tough.
Step 7: Cool and serve
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
Variations:
While the basic recipe for Apricot Angel Brownies is delicious, there are a few variations that can be made to add even more flavor and texture:
- Nuts: For a crunchy, nutty flavor, chopped nuts such as pecans or almonds can be added to the batter before baking.
- Orange Zest: To enhance the apricot flavor and add a citrusy note, orange zest can be added to the batter.
- White Chocolate: For a sweeter, creamier taste, white chocolate can be used in place of dark chocolate.
- Glaze: Apricot glaze can be made by simmering apricot jam with a little bit of water. This can be drizzled over the cooled brownies for added flavor.
Conclusion:
Apricot Angel Brownies are a tasty and unique dessert that are simple to make and can be customized to suit individual tastes. The combination of sweet apricot jam and rich dark chocolate creates a flavor that is both indulgent and refreshing. Whether served as a dessert or snack, these brownies are sure to delight.
