       Yield: 18 bars
  
       1 c  White flour
     1/3 c  Brown sugar
       1 ts Cinnamon
     1/2 ts Baking powder
     1/4 ts Salt
   1 1/2 c  Dried apricots
       1 tb Walnuts, chopped
       1 tb Cashews, chopped

       1 c  Icing sugar
       2 tb Shortening
     1/2 ts Vanilla
       1 tb Apple juice
  
   Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder & salt.  Stir in the
   apricots & nuts.  Add the syrup.  Stir until the mixture forms a thick
   batter.
   
   Spread the batter into a lightly oiled 8″ X 8″ baking pan (it is hard work,
   but it will cover -- trust me!).  Bake at 350F for 30 to 35 minutes or
   until the bars test done.  Allow to cool slightly, cut into bars. When
     completely cool, spread with icing & drizzle some melted chocolate over
  the
   top if desired.
   
     ICING: Cream together sugar & shortening.  Add remaining ingredients
  & beat
   until smooth.  Makes 1/2 cup.
