Just a wonderful combination of apricots, coconut, condensed milk to make a delicious fruity bar cookie. Sometimes I use a 6 ounce package Sunkist Fruit Bits instead of the apricots.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, well beaten
15 ounces condensed milk
1/2 cup flaked coconut
6 ounces dried apricots, finely chopped
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place butter, sugar and 1 cup flour in a large bowl.
3. Cut butter in with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form.
4. Press crumbs firmly into bottom of a greased 9 inch square pan to make a crust.
5. Bake for 25 minutes.
6. Remove pan from oven to a wire rack to cool.
7. Combine the remaining 1/3 cup flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, condensed milk, coconut, and apricots in a medium bowl.
8. Mix well.
9. Spread mixture evenly over crust.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
11. Cool in pan.
