Brown Butter Apricots With Brioche And Ice Cream Food

EASY CHOCOLATE-APRICOT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan generously with cooking spray.
• Mix oil, water, and eggs together in a bowl. Stir in brownie mix until just moistened. Spread 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
• While brownies are baking, warm apricot jam in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Remove brownies from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over top. Spread warm jam over the entire surface. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the surface of the jam.
• Return to the oven and continue to bake until edges are dry but brownies still look slightly underdone, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

GRILLED MAPLE-BUTTER APRICOTS WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium, direct heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal.
• Cook maple syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a small skillet over low heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted.
• Grill apricots cut side down, brushing with syrup mixture as they cook, until lightly charred and tender, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a platter cut side up, and brush with additional syrup mixture. Let apricots cool to room temperature, then serve with ice cream.
