Categories     Food Processor     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Apricot     Pecan     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

For apricot filling
6 ounces dried apricots (about 1 cup firmly packed), chopped fine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For chocolate chip mixture
1 1/3 cups pecans (about 4 ounces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
confectioners' sugar for sprinkling bars

Steps:

  • Make apricot filling:
  • In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan combine apricots, granulated sugar, and water and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Remove lid and simmer mixture, stirring and mashing apricots, until excess liquid is evaporated and filling is thickened. Stir in vanilla.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and grease and flour an 8-inch-square baking pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • Make chocolate chip mixture:
  • In a shallow baking pan toast pecans in middle of oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, and cool. In a food processor pulse pecans, flour, brown sugar, and salt until pecans are coarsely chopped. Add chocolate chips and butter and pulse until pecan mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press about half of chocolate chip mixture onto bottom of prepared baking pan and spread evenly with apricot filling. Crumble remaining chocolate chip mixture evenly over apricot filling, pressing it down slightly, and bake confection in middle of oven 1 hour, or until golden. Cool confection completely in pan on a rack. Sprinkle confection with confectioners' sugar and cut into 16 bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies, so be sure to use a good-quality dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a baking sheet with sides: This will help to prevent the brownies from spreading too much and will also make it easier to cut them into squares.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Enjoy the brownies warm or at room temperature: Brownies are delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.

Conclusion:

Chocolate apricot brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
