Servings: persons

FOR THE FILLING:
3-1/2 whole Apricots, Sliced
1/2 cups Champagne
1 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar
FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup All-purpose Flour
3/4 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/4 cups White Sugar
FOR THE TOPPING:
1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cups Brown Sugar
3-1/2 Tablespoons Cold Butter, Cut Up
1/4 cups Chopped Walnuts

1
Prepare filling by placing apricots, champagne and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix up well. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour (longer if you can).
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease an 8 x 8 glass pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
3
For the crust, in a medium bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, applesauce, vanilla and sugar until fully combined. (Mixture will be crumbly; that's good!) Pour mixture into the bottom of the greased baking dish and press it in using a spatula.
4
Remove filling from the refrigerator. Using a slotted spoon, scoop apricots out of the bowl and place them onto the crust. Drizzle about 2-4 tablespoons of the champagne juice over the apricots.
5
Prepare topping by mixing the flour and brown sugar together. Using a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut butter into the flour/sugar until mixture appears very crumbly (like coarse sand). Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle topping over the apricots until they are fully covered.
6
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and fruit is crumbly. Wait until the bars cool completely before you cut.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
