Delicious make-ahead Apricot-Cherry Bars with oatmeal crumble topping.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups sweetened, flaked coconut
  • 2 cups sliced almonds
  • 2 cups dried cherries
  • 2 cups dried apricots, coarsely chopped
  • 1.5 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 13-by-9-inch Pyrex baking pan with vegetable cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Use a fork to mix in the butter until a crumbly mixture forms. Press 1 1/2 packed cups of the oat mixture into the pan to create a thin crust.
  • Combine coconut, almonds, cherries, apricots, and milk in a large bowl. Spread evenly over the crust using a rubber spatula, then sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the dried fruit filling.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until lightly golden, then cool to room temperature. Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Cut the dish into generously sized 1 1/2-inch squares before serving.
