Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 375 degrees.
  • Butter a 9" square baking pan, line with parchment and then butter the parchment, leaving a slight overhang.
  • In food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined:
  • Add the butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter lumps.
  • Add yolks and vanilla and pulse just until clumps of dough form, about 30 seconds
  • Line pan with parchment paper.
  • Press 3/4 of the dough mixture onto the bottom of the pan. Then spread with the apricot preserves.
  • Crumble remaining dough mixture over preserves and sprinkle evenly with walnuts:
  • Bake until top is golden brown and preserves are bubbling; 20-25 minutes.
  • Let cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  • Lift from pan by grasping both ends of the parchment. Cut into bars.
  • This recipe would be delicious with any flavor of preserves; add a dusting of a cinnamon/sugar mixture over the walnuts before baking.
