This prize-winning recipe was developed by a second-year pre-med student at the City College of San Francisco. He says he learned to cook by watching television! If you love apricots, don't miss this one.


FILLING
2 (6-ounce) bags dried apricots, finely cut up (2 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar

BASE
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup margarine or butter
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts


In medium saucepan, combine apricots and water. Cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until apricots are very soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar.

Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottom only of 13 x 9-inch baking pan. In large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, salt and baking soda. Using fork or pastry blender, cut in margarine until mixture is crumbly. Add coconut and walnuts. Press 3 cups of crumb mixture in bottom of greased pan. Bake at 400°F. for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.

Spread apricot filling evenly over crust. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 400°F. for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool. Cut into bars.
