Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2
Prepare the Baking Pan

Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.

3
Melt the Butter

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter.

4
Mix Base Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.

5
Add Melted Butter

Pour melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined and crumbly.

6
Reserve Crumble Topping

Set aside 1 cup of the oat mixture for the topping.

7
Press Base into Pan

Press the remaining oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.

Bake the Base

Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.

Spread Apricot Jam

Remove the pan from the oven and spread apricot jam evenly over the hot crust.

Bake Again

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

12
Cool Slightly

Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

Melt White Chocolate

Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.

Spread White Chocolate

Pour the melted white chocolate over the bars and spread evenly.

15
Chill to Set

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the white chocolate is set.
