These bars are a great way to use up leftover apricots. I had a bunch of apricots that were starting to go bad, and these bars were the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed these bars. The apricot filling was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the crust.
