Apricot Bars

These were absolutely delicious. And so easy. Yum.

1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 stick salted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for greasing dish
1 10-12 oz jar apricot preserves

Grease a 8" square baking dish with butter. Mix everything but the apricot preserves in a large bowl until mixture is combined and crumbly. Press one half of the mixture into the prepared dish. Spread with 10-12 oz apricot preserves. Sprinkle second half of mixture on top and pat lightly. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until light brown. Let cool completely, then cut into squares.

  1. I made pretty much the same recipe last week with some of the strawberry jam I canned during the summer. Joel loved them! I thought they were fine, but I was surprised how much he liked them. :)

  2. I'll have to try some other flavors! Doug loves apple butter, so I'm thinking that might be my next task...
