How to Make Apricot Crumble Squares
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- **Make the Crust:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- **Make the Topping:** Arrange 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen apricots (thawed and drained) evenly over the baked crust.
- In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the apricots.
- Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
- Let the crumble squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
