Yield Makes 32 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup apricot preserves
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (3 oz)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan and line with 1 sheet of foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 opposite sides, then butter foil.
  • Pulse flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Add yolks and vanilla and pulse just until clumps of dough form, about 30 seconds.
  • Press three fourths of dough evenly onto bottom of pan, then spread with apricot preserves. Crumble remaining dough over preserves and sprinkle evenly with walnuts.
  • Bake until top is golden brown and preserves are bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack. Lift from pan by grasping both ends of foil. Cut into 32 bars and lift bars off foil with a spatula.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed these bars. The walnuts and crust balanced out the sweetness of the apricots perfectly.

I added a little bit of cinnamon to the filling and it gave the bars an extra special flavor.
