AMY'S CHEWY COCONUT BARS (DIABETIC)
I was looking for a good bar cookie to add to my cookie tray that was suitable for Redneck Epicurean who was diabetic. We were partners in a holiday cookie swap and I was in awe of her cheerfulness even when she was in tremendous pain. She loved them and in her honor I am renaming this bar for her. Combining coconuts and walnuts with a faint hint of maple really appealed to me so I decided to give it a try as well as posting here for others as well as for future reference. According to the source this bar has 126 cal., 2 g pro., 10 g carbo., 9 g fat, 27 mg chol., 141 mg sodium.

APRICOT COCONUT BARS
Just a wonderful combination of apricots, coconut, condensed milk to make a delicious fruity bar cookie. Sometimes I use a 6 ounce package Sunkist Fruit Bits instead of the apricots.

Steps:
- Crust:.
- Position rack in the bottom third of oven; heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 8" square baking pan and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles moist pepples. Scrape the dough into the prepared pan and press to form an even layer. Bake until the crust is lightly golden, about 30 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Leave oven at 350 degrees.
- Topping:.
- While crust is baking, combine the brown sugar, egg, apricot jam, flour, baking powder, salt, and almond extract in a medium bowl. Whisk until blended. Stir in apricots and coconut. When the crust is baked, scrape the topping into the pan and spread evenly. Continue baking until the topping is browned around the edges and a pick inserted in the center comes out a bit sticky, about 20 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool completely before inverting onto a cutting board. Using a warm, thin-bladed knife, trim off the edges and cut into bars. Store at room temperature, or freeze in an airtight container separating the layers with waxed paper.

Tips:
1. Use ripe apricots: They are sweeter and have a more intense flavor. 2. Don't overcook the apricots: They should be soft but still hold their shape. 3. Use unsweetened coconut flakes: They will help keep the bars low in sugar. 4. Press the bars firmly into the pan: This will help them hold together. 5. Chill the bars before cutting them: This will make them easier to cut and less likely to crumble.Conclusion:
