Ingredients
Crust/Crumble:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/4 /4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 /4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 /2 tsp fine salt
- 1/4 /4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 /2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 /2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 /2 cup almond slices for the topping
Filling:
- 5-6 small apricots ~1 1/4 pounds, diced
- 1/3 /3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 /2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8x8 baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix in the melted butter and extracts until combined and a pebble-like mixture forms. Press approximately 2/3 of the mixture into the baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden brown.
- Add almond slices to the remaining mixture, being careful to keep it in "crumble" form. Place in the fridge.
- Make the filling by combining the apricots, sugar, cinnamon, corn starch, and almond extract until apricots are thoroughly coated. Spread in an even layer on top of the par-baked crust. Top with the almond crumble topping and bake for 38-42 minutes until edges are bubbly and top is slightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely (see note) before cutting into bars and serving.

Notes
- I like to let the bars set up completely in the fridge so they are easier to cut into bar form. You can serve immediately if you want more of a crisp-like dessert.
