1 cup dried apricots, chopped
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and finely diced
4 ounces 100-percent apple juice
3/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup drained applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 2/3 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 cup old-fashion oats
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
In a sauce pan over medium-low heat, add apricots, apples and apple juice; simmer 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then puree in a blender or food processor.
In a bowl, beat margarine, drained apple sauce and sugar until creamy. Fold in flour and oats.
Spread a little more than half the flour mixture in the baking pan. Spread apricot mixture evenly over the top. Cover with remaining flour mixture and press down lightly.
