Apricot Oatmeal Crumble Bars are a delicious layered dessert made with a buttery oat crust, sweet apricot filling, and a golden crumble topping. These easy homemade bars are perfect for snacks, breakfast treats, or simple desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup apricot jam or apricot preserves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix until the mixture forms crumbly clusters.
  5. Press about two-thirds of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  6. Spread the apricot jam evenly over the crust layer.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the apricot layer.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the top becomes golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
  10. Lift out using the parchment paper and cut into squares before serving.

Notes

  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • Use high-quality apricot jam for the best flavor.
  • Rolled oats provide better texture than quick oats.
  • Add sliced almonds or shredded coconut to the crumble for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
