The title of these Winning Apricot Bars says it all really – they are prize winning! No seriously, I entered them in my son’s school charity bake off last year and they won first prize! They are so easy to make too – simply make some dough by creaming some butter and sugar. Then add the egg, vanilla, flour, coconut and walnuts.
The recipe uses apricot preserves as a topping and I love to use my Apricot Jam for this. Don’t worry if you don’t have time to make your own though – store bought preserves will work just fine too! Spread the preserves on top of the dough and bake for 30-35 minutes. So simple, so delicious!
To make the Winning Apricot Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large baking bowl.
Add the egg and vanilla and beat well to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together.
Slowly add the flour to the creamed butter, sugar and eggs. Mix well.
Gently fold in the walnuts and coconut.
Place ⅔ of the dough in the baking pan and press it in with your fingers.
Spread the apricot preserves on the dough and crumble the remaining dough over the preserves.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden on top.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
