Apricot squares are made with canned apricot halves.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 can (approx. 16 ounces) apricot halves, drained
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
  • 1 tablespoon milk

PREPARATION:

Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Sift flour and spices into a bowl; stir in sugar. Add melted butter or margarine; mix together with a pastry cutter or fork. Set aside about one-quarter of the crumb mixture for topping. Stir the 1 tablespoon milk into remaining mixture; press into the pan. Prick all over with a fork. Arrange drained apricot halves over first layer; crumbled remaining crumb mixture over the apricots. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes, or until topping is browned. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping.
