Apricot Bars

2 ¼ cups flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

2 ¼ cup QUICK oats

1 ½ cup brown sugar

1 cup Butter

1 cup apricot preserves, jam ( can use raspberry or blackberry too)

 

Combine mix the first 5 ingredients together, cut in the butter until crumbly.  Pat 2/3 of mixture in a ungreased 9X13 inch pan, I like to use glass.  Spread with preserves and then cover with remaining crumb mixture.  Press down lightly bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.  Cool and cut into bars.
