A little different approach to the average fruit bar recipe. Good for lunchboxes. I have always cut them into bite-sized pieces too, just my preference. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup chilled butter |
2 eggs |
1 tablespoon milk |
3/4 cup peach preserves |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup melted butter |
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour till mixture is coarse and crumbly. Using a wooden spoon, add eggs one at a time, then the milk, stirring to make a soft dough.
2. Spread dough into a greased 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch pan (depending on how thick you want your bars).
3. Spread preserves over dough and set pan aside.
4. To prepare topping: mix the sugar and the butter in a bowl. Add the coconut and toss to coat. Spread over the preserves and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. Pack airtight.
