1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. white sugar
1 c. flour

TOPPING:

1/3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts
1 1/3 c. apricot filling or 1 1/3 c. lekvar or peach filling

Cream sugar and butter; stir in flour until crumbly. Press mixture into an 8 x 8 pan and bake for 25 minutes until lightly browned.

In a large bowl beat eggs and sugar well. Then Beat in flour mixture, nuts, vanilla and filling of your choice. Spread this over the baked layer and bake for 25-30 minutes longer or until golden brown. When cooled, sprinkled with powdered sugar and cut into squares.

A doubled recipe fits nicely in a 9 x 13 pan for a thick crust and thick filling or a cookie sheet for a thin layer with a thin thinner filling topping.
