Time 1h15m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 12

⅔ cup dried apricots
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup sifted all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch square pan.
  • Place apricots and enough water to cover in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and cool, then chop coarsely.
  • Cream together the butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 cup flour until crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture into the prepared pan, and pack down. Bake in the preheated oven until firm and slightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the eggs and brown sugar until well blended. Combine 1/3 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir into the egg mixture. Mix in vanilla, walnuts and apricots. Spread mixture over baked layer.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm. Let cool on wire racks. Cut into bars and dip in confectioners' sugar.
