Apricot Squares

7 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, more for greasing pan
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 lb dried apricot
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan (not necessary with nonstick pan).
  2. 2
    Combine butter, 1 cup flour and the granulated sugar in a food processor. Pulse until ingredients are pebbly and crumbly; mixture will be quite dry. Press into pan, and bake for 15 minutes or until shell is evenly cooked.
  3. 3
    If fruit is very dry, stew it in water to cover in a small saucepan until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain very well, then chop. Combine in a bowl with eggs, brown sugar, remaining flour and salt.
  4. 4
    Remove pan from oven, and pour fruit batter over crust. Bake until lightly browned and firm on edges but still a little soft in middle, about 30 minutes.
  5. 5
    Cool, then cut into squares and serve. Store, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days.
