Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- 2. To make the crust add flour and 1/2 c. sugar to a medium size bowl; mix with a fork until blended. Add butter, 4 oz. of the cream cheese and 1 t. almond extract; mix with a fork until crumbles form. Reserve 1/2 c. crumbs for topping; set aside. Press remainder of crumbs onto bottom and halfway up sides of prepared pan, forming a crust; set aside while making filling.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl add 8 oz. of the cream cheese, 1/3 c. of the sugar, the egg and the 1 t. of the almond extract. Beat with a mixer at least 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Pour into prepared crust and dot cream cheese filling and apricot preserves. Top with reserved crumb mixture and then almonds.
- 4. Bake 40 minutes. Remove from oven and chill for 30 minutes. Cut into 8 equal bars; dust with powdered sugar.
