How to Make Apricot Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 cup dried apricots, ½ cup slivered almonds, and ½ cup walnuts. Pulse until finely chopped but not completely pulverized.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apricot mixture, 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Stir until well combined.
  5. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of orange juice, mixing until a thick, sticky batter forms. The amount of orange juice needed will depend on the type of apricots used.
  6. Press the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars.
  9. Once cooled, cut into bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
