Indulge in these luscious apricot bars featuring a buttery shortbread base crowned with a vibrant apricot filling. The contrasting textures—crisp cookie bottom and soft, fruity top layer—create an irresistible treat that's enhanced by hints of vanilla. The clever technique of cooking dried apricots before pureeing them concentrates their sweet-tart flavor for maximum impact. Finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar, these elegant squares make a perfect accompaniment to afternoon tea or a stunning addition to dessert platters.
