Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step
20 mins

In a small saucepan, combine the chopped dried apricots, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Add just enough water to cover the apricots. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the apricots are soft and the liquid has reduced slightly. Chop the apricots coarsely with a knife or fork. (20 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined, forming a crumbly mixture. (5 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Press approximately 2/3 of the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan, creating a firm, even crust. (5 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Spread the cooked apricot mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the apricot filling. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. (35 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Let the cookies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or bars. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the crumble topping.
A touch of cinnamon or nutmeg added to the oat mixture can enhance the warm, comforting notes of this dessert.
Store leftover apricot cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Chopping apricots using a food processor will save your time.
