MOST AWESOME APRICOT OATMEAL BARS
Another apricot recipe from my Mom's collection. These also have honey and that was a BIG deal on Shupert's Honey Farm. At one point my Dad kept over 200 hives of bees. Honey was never in short supply in our kitchen. Honey adds moistness to baked goods which is wonderful. Just don't use too much of the stronger flavored honey in...

Steps:
- 1. Combine apricots and water and cook in a small covered pan for 10 minutes at medium heat. Remove the lid and continue to cook until apricots are tender and almost all of the water has evaporated. Add preserves, 1 tablespoon sugar, and almond extract. Stir and cook until preserves are melted and everything is well mixed. Remove from heat and cool.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine butter, brown sugar, honey, flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Mix together well. Press 1/2 of this mixture in the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Spread cooled filling over crust spreading evenly. Top with remaining oatmeal-flour mixture. Press down on top gently to get air gaps out.
- 3. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Do not over-bake. Remove from oven. Cool slightly. Run a knife around the edges of pan to loosen and then cut in bars. After cutting, leave in pan to cool completely.
AWESOME APRICOT BARS
I first tasted these sinful cookies at my bridal shower, and my mother-in-law had to trade a secret family recipe to get this one. These have been a hit every time I've made them. The dough will be rather dense, so I suggest using a large stand mixer or your hands to combine the ingredients.

- Use an 8 x 8 square cake pan or a 7 x 9" rectangle pan. Line it with parchment paper and make sure you have an excess at the edges so you can pick it out of the pan. Pro tip - I find the square pan makes 16 even squares. But, you can use any pan similar in size.
- In a food processor - add flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, spice mix, and cold cubed butter. Pulse a few times - until crumbly. Not too much.Pro tip - we want a crumble with some small pieces and some large pieces of butter. These will give us a good texture and mouthfeel.
- Fresh Apricots - wash the apricots, score a cross on the bottom skin, and blanch them in hot water for three minutes. Then drop them in cold water so the skin peels off easily. Remove skin, chop them into smaller pieces. Pro tip - if using canned or frozen peaches please read the notes above for details.
