APRICOT BARS
THE KEY TO THESE SWEET AND CHUNKY apricot bars is using the highest-quality apricot preserves possible. Look for the word preserves on the label rather than jam or jelly; preserves have more fruit chunks. (Artificial colors are sometimes added to apricot jams, jelly, and preserves, so check the list of ingredients on the label.) These are a great dessert for a picnic or a bake sale because they're easy to transport and stay fresh for days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Using a hand held mixer or stand mixer with the flat beater attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Blend in the egg yolks 1 at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour and salt, mixing well. Scrape the bowl again, add the walnuts, and stir until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
- Spread two-thirds of the dough into a 9 × 13-inch baking pan, using lightly floured hands to pat and distribute the mixture evenly. The dough should be about 3/8 inch thick. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
- Bake the crust for approximately 35 minutes, or until it is light golden brown in the middle, golden on the edges, and lightly springy in the center. Spread the apricot preserves evenly over the warm crust, just to the edges but not touching the sides of the pan. Using the large holes of a box grater, shred the chilled remaining dough evenly over the apricot preserves. Return to the oven and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is light golden brown.
- Let the bars cool for 1 hour and then cut them into 24 squares.
- The bars can be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 5 days.
