How to Make Apricot Coconut Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup chopped dried apricots (or 1 (6-ounce) package Sun-Maid fruit bits).
- Mix until well combined.
- Spread the apricot-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
