Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Apricot Oatmeal Crumble Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine softened butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add baking soda, rolled oats, and flour, mixing into a coarse dough.
  3. Press approximately 2 cups of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
  4. Spread the apricot preserves over the pressed oat crust, leaving about a 1/4-inch edge.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the top of the apricot preserves.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are golden brown and the top is crisp.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing.
