1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2/3 cup dried apricots.
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
powdered sugar

Mix butter, 1/4 cup sugar and flour into crumbly mixture. Press into bottom of greased 8X8 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned.

Cover apricots with water, and bring to boil. Boil for approximately 10 minutes. This rehydrates the apricots. Drain, cool and chop.

Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually beat brown sugar into eggs. Add flour mixture. Mix well. Add vanilla, nuts and apricots and stir to mix. Spread mixture over baked crust. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. Cool in pan. Cut into bars. Roll bars in powdered sugar and serve.
