  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup dried apricots
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup flaked coconut (optional)

  3. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar. Stir in 1/3 cup flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice. Fold in nuts and chopped apricots. Stir in coconut, if desired. Pour over the prepared crust.
  4. Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm. Cool, and dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting into squares.
