How to Make Apricot Oatmeal Bars Just Like You Remember
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup dried apricots and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until softened.
- Remove from heat and drain the apricots well. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press half of the crumb mixture into the prepared pan to form an even layer.
- Spread the drained apricots evenly over the crumb layer.
- Crumble the remaining crumb mixture over the apricots.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 pieces.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
