Directions:

Crust:
Combine ingredients with a fork or hands and press out on either a pizza round or cookie sheet. Spread as thin as possible without tearing. Bake 20 minutes at 325°—careful not to burn.

Spread:

Brush a glaze of apricot preserves and water mixed and warmed to a syrup-like texture over the fruit, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
