Comment préparer Apricot Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Let the crust cool completely in the pan.
Spread 1 cup apricot jam evenly over the cooled crust.
In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with ½ teaspoon almond extract until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Spread the meringue evenly over the apricot jam.
Sprinkle with ½ cup slivered almonds.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is set and lightly golden brown.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 2-inch squares.
