Apricot Walnut Bars
These Apricot Walnut Bars have a buttery crust with a tangy homemade apricot filling topped with a walnut streusel. These are a great option if you want a dessert that’s not so heavy on the sugar. If that doesn’t matter and you are short on time, you could always use your favorite apricot preserves.
