Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with non-stick
cooking spray. Spread walnuts in a pie plate and bake for 8 to 10 minutes,
or until fragrant. Let cool and chop coarsely. Melt chocolate in a small
bowl over hot, not boiling water or in a microwave oven at medium (50
percent) power. Set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour,
cocoa and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites and eggs. Add
sugar, corn syrup, applesauce, oil and vanilla. Whisk in the chocolate. Add
the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until
blended. Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle with walnuts. Bake for 30
to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out
clean. Let cool in the pan on a rack. Cut into squares. Serves 24.
