Apricot Bars

This is one of the easiest bar recipes ever. It takes no more than five minutes to prepare the bars and get them into the oven. The bars are delicious and especially good served with homemade vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat)
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups apricot preserves

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Mix together all ingredients except preserves. Press half the mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking pan lined with foil and greased. Spread apricot preserves over mixture. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture on top. Bake mixture at 350° for 35 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
