Dessert with Apricots

The oven works again! To celebrate, and to use up some apricots, I made this, from a recipe on Recipezaar. Unfortunately, the author left out the amount of sugar. I skimmed through some cookbooks and made a semi-educated guess, which seems to have worked. It comes out very much like cobbler or crumble with a dough solid enough to eat out of hand.

Apricot Crumble Squares

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 cups sliced apricots (drained if canned)
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl beat butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until incorporated. Blend in flour, salt, and powder, just until a dough forms. Spread dough evenly in pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. (I'd go up to 8 minutes next time.) Arrange apricots evenly over top of base. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over top of fruit. Bake 10 to 12 minutes longer or until golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely, then cut into squares.
