For easier cutting, chill the glazed brownies in the freezer for 3-4 hours before slicing. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. The brownies will continue to set as they cool.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x12-inch rimmed baking sheet to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the brownie base: In a double boiler set over simmering water, combine the butter and chopped chocolate. Stir frequently with a rubber spatula, ensuring to scrape down the sides to prevent scorching, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth. (5-7 minutes)
03
StepIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and mix until thoroughly combined, creating a glossy batter. (4-5 minutes)
04
StepIncorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and homogenous. Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crushed walnuts generously over the batter, pressing them gently into the surface to ensure they adhere during baking.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to crisp and the brownies rise approximately 1/4 inch. The center should still appear slightly gooey. (30-40 minutes)
06
StepPrepare the apricot glaze: In a saucepan over high heat, combine the water, apricot preserves, and unflavored gelatin. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly. (2 minutes)
07
StepAllow the brownies to cool for 30 minutes before glazing. Using a pastry brush, spread a thin, even layer of apricot glaze over the top of the cooled brownies.
