1 1/2 c. sifted enriched flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. quick cooking rolled oats
1 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. butter
3/4 c. commercial apricot preserves

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; stir in rolled oats and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Pat 2/3 of crumb mixture into 11 x 7 x 1 1/2 inch pan. Spread with preserves. Cover with remaining crumb mixture and pat fairly firm.

Bake in moderate oven at 375 degrees, approximately 35 minutes, or until brown. Cool. Cut in bars or squares. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen 3 x 1 inch bars, or about 6 dozen 1 inch squares.
