My grandmother, a wonderful baker and cook, made these. Ingredients:
8 ounces dried apricots |
1/2 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
water to cover |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup rolled oats |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. Place apricots, lemon juice, white sugar in a small saucepan. Add enough water to just cover the apricots. Bring to a boil, and cook until fruit is soft. Chop coarsely.
3. Sift flour, oatmeal and brown sugar together. Melt butter or margarine over low heat and stir into flour mixture. Put 2/3 of this mixture into 8 x 8 inch greased pan. Spread apricot mixture over crust. Sprinkle remaining oatmeal mixture over apricots.
4. Bake for about 35 minutes.
