Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add the dry mixture, mixing until crumbly.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

Apricot Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Apricots

    In a medium saucepan, combine the dried apricots and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes until soft.

  2. 6

    Add Sugar and Spices

    Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apricot mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Layer the Base

    Spread half of the base mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly.

  2. 8

    Add Apricot Filling

    Pour the apricot filling over the base layer, spreading evenly.

  3. 9

    Top with Remaining Base

    Crumble the remaining base mixture over the apricot filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

  4. 10

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

  5. 11

    Cool and Prepare Topping

    Allow the dish to cool completely before mixing the powdered sugar and milk to form a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the top.
