Recipe Introduction


Gemlike dates and apricots top these chewy bars.


List of Ingredients




To lower Saturated Fat and Cholesterol use stick margarine to replace butter and egg substitute instead of the eggs.

Recipe



Makes 20.

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup light-colored corn syrup
1/2 cup snipped pitted dates
1/2 cup snipped dried apricots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Heat oven to 350 degree F. Melt the butter or margarine in a 9x9x2-inch baking pan in the oven (about 6 minutes). Remove from oven. Stir oats and brown sugar into melted butter or margarine; press mixture firmly and evenly onto bottom of pan using the back of a spoon.

2. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly brown around edges.

3. Meanwhile stir together the beaten eggs, corn syrup, dates, apricots, walnuts, and cinnamon in a large bowl, stirring well. Spoon evenly over partially baked crust. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until center appears set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack; cut into bars.

Make-ahead tip: Cover pan and store in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
