Apricot Bars

I adapted this recipe from one in an old issue of The Australian Women's Weekly that my mother-in-law gave me. The bars are simple to make and relatively healthy. They would also be delicious with chopped walnuts.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 cup coarsly chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 2 tablespoons maple syrup)
2 eggs

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
With an electric mixer, mix together the buter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla (or maple syrup). In another bowl, whisk together that flour and coconut. In another bowl, whisk the flour and coconut together. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Mix in the dried apricots.
Pour the batter into a greased square pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned.
