Apricot Bars Recipe

Apricot Bars

From wynnebaer 15 years ago

My mothers favorite fruit was apricot...And she loved when I made these for her because after all, she couldn't cook

Preheat oven to 350
Spray 11x7 baking pan with cooking spray
Put apricots in a saucepan with butter and honey over low heat until butter melts
Put Rice Krispies in food processor and process until fine crumbs.
Mix cereal crumbs in a bowl with almonds, egg, egg yolk and flour
In large bowl, mix cereal mixture and honey mixture
Put half in baking pan and press down with a spoon until compact
In small bowl, mix preserves and lemon juice
Spread it on top of cereal mixture in pan
Press remaining cereal mixture on top of preserves
Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown
Cool and cut into 2 in. squares.

Wow, Wynne, I'm trying to imagine just how these would taste! Sweet, salty, fruity, tart....And, versatile -- I bet you could substitute dried cranberries (Craisins) or other dried fruits, and preserves to match the fruit!
Great post, GF :)
