Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • ½ cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup apricot preserves

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2
Pulse pecans in a food processor until coarsely chopped, 3 to 5 times. Add oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; pulse 3 to 4 times.

Step 3
Sprinkle butter cubes over the top of the flour-oat mixture. Pulse until butter is the size of small peas, 3 to 5 times.

Step 4
Spread 1/2 of oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing down lightly. Spread apricot preserves over oat mixture to 1/4-inch of the edge. Top with remaining oat mixture and press down lightly.

Step 5
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool before cutting.

Cook’s Note:

To help the preserves spread easier on the raw crust, heat them up for a few seconds in the microwave to loosen them up.
