Apricot Squares
"Delicious Desserts"
by Sylvia Balser Hirsch
A very popular fruit square that's baked in two layers. Be sure to start
the apricots for the topping before you make the base so they can cool.
8 x 8 inch pan buttered
Base:
1 stick butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugar, add the
flour and the vanilla, blending well, then press into the bottom of the
pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
Topping:
2/3 cup chopped dried apricots
2 eggs beaten
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/3 all purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Confectioner's sugar
Boil the apricots for about ten minutes in water to cover, drain and cool.
Combine the eggs with the brown sugar and beat until light.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt and add to the egg mixture. Add
apricots, nuts and vanilla. Blend mixture and spread evenly over base.
Return to oven and bake about 30 - 35 minutes. Cool. Cut into squares and
dust with confectioner's sugar.
Makes 16 squares.
