I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I thought I'd give these a try. I was surprised to find that I actually liked them! The apricot filling was sweet and tangy, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

The apricot bars were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The crust was a bit dry and the apricot filling was too runny.

I used fresh apricots from my tree and they were delicious in these bars. The crust was also very good.
