Need old recipe using orange slices for baking?

Question

My aunt (now deceased) used to make a brownie without the chocolate. (It cut like a brownie is what I mean) The finished product was a beige color with orange slices in it. It was sooooo good and I cannot find it. I want to make it for Christmas Holidays. Thanks in advance.

I am referring to the orange slices that are candy orange slices. Not real oranges. I apologize if I did not make myself clear. Thanks for the good recipes so far. I can use them all.

This is baked in the oven and comes out much like the consistency of a brownie mix. Please help. Thanks

Answer 1

Could be a variation on the Blondie's recipe, try this one:
Blondie's with Orange, Mint and Apricots recipe
Source: Kitchen Gardener - Aug/Sept 1999

1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup orange mint leaves, loosely packed
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 extra large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan.

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When melted, add the brown sugar and stir. Cook over medium low heat, stirring, until the mixture is thick and syrupy, about 4 minutes.

Add the granulated sugar and stir until it's dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat to cool.

Thinly slice the apricots crosswise. Wash, dry and coarsely chop the orange mint; there should be about 3 tablespoons.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and stir to blend. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture over the apricots and toss to coat them lightly.

Beat the eggs into the warm brown sugar and butter mixture (it should not be hot) and blend thoroughly. Add the vanilla extract and stir well. Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour and stir until just blended. Add the apricots and mint and stir until just mixed in. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, until the top is a deep golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a baking rack before cutting into bars.

Makes 32 bars.
