 Crunchy high-fiber apricot and apple bars

INGREDIENTS
1 cup dried apricots
2 apples
4 floz (120ml) apple juice
1 cup margarine
1/2 cup soft brown sugar
1 2/3 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 cups oats

PREPARATION

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly oil a shallow baking pan measuring 13 by 9in (32 by 22cm).

2 Chop the apricots, and peel, core, and finely chop the apples. Place in a pan with the apple juice and simmer for 10 minutes.

3 Let the mixture cool slightly, then blend in a food processor until smooth.

4 In a bowl, beat together the margarine and sugar until creamy, then fold in the flour and oats.

5 Spread half of the flour and oat mixture over the baking pan. Spoon the apricot and apple mixture on top and spread evenly. Cover with the remaining flour mixture and press down lightly.

6 Bake for 30 minutes, until light golden. Cut into 16 bars while in the tray, and let cool before removing. Store in an airtight container.
