Apricot Squares Recipe

It's Sunday in North Carolina as I write these words.

It's hot, it's humid, and summer has arrived here on the Piedmont.

Summer, of course, is always a good time for healthy recipes, so today I'm going to share with you one of my favorites for...

Awesome Apricot Squares

1 1/2 cups chopped dried apricots
2 cups water
1/4 cup raw honey

1 1/2 cups oat flakes
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup unrefined or cold pressed oil
1/2 cup raw honey

Combine the first three ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to boil and then simmer uncovered for ten minutes on low heat.

Combine the other ingredients and then press half of that mixture into the bottom of an 8" x 8" pan.

Spread the wet apricot mix on top and then sprinkle the rest of the oat mix on top of that.

Bake for twenty to thirty minutes at 350F or until lightly browned.

Remove from oven and cool. When cool, cut into your favorite-sized squares.

This is a terrific recipe, and you just plain can't beat the taste of apricots!
