How to Make Apricot Cherry Bars

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chopped apricots and cherries (making sure to remove any pits!).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
