I made these last night and they were delicious . I changed a few things. First, I used bakers Joy on the pan instead of all that foil and parchment paper, so much easier and nothing stuck. There was also no need to prick the bottom of the dough before baking it. I used dry apricots instead of fresh ones, so you can make this any time of the year!

This was very good. The topping was a little runny in my opinion. I omitted the coconut because we don't like it and that may have caused it to be a little thin. I added a couple tablespoons of flour extra and threw in a handful of oatmeal to try to thicken it up. I used fresh apricots. I will make this again!
