 Ingredients List

  • 1 c White flour
  • 1/3 c Brown sugar
  • 1 ts Cinnamon
  • 1/2 ts Baking powder
  • 1/4 ts Salt
  • 1 1/2 c Dried apricots
  • 1 tb Walnuts, chopped
  • 1 tb Cashews, chopped
  • 1/3 c Maple syrup

 Directions

ICING
1 c Icing sugar
2 tb Shortening
1/2 ts Vanilla
1 tb Apple juice

Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder & salt. Stir in the
apricots & nuts. Add the syrup. Stir until the mixture forms a thick
batter.

Spread the batter into a lightly oiled 8" X 8" baking pan (it is hard work,
but it will cover trust me!). Bake at 350F for 30 to 35 minutes or until
the bars test done. Allow to cool slightly, cut into bars. When completely
cool, spread with icing & drizzle some melted chocolate over the top if
desired.

ICING: Cream together sugar & shortening. Add remaining ingredients & beat
until smooth. Makes 1/2 cup.
