Very good. I liked being able to use up my dried apricots in a delicious recipe. I like thicker squares, so I used an 8x8 pan instead of 9x13. Turned out very well; nice and sweet but not too sweet. I like the mix of coconut and apricots. Since I made it thicker, it probably took another 25-30 minutes to bake.

Because of the reviews that said these were too sweet, I made them with 3/4 cup sugar in the filling. They turned out really well. I'll be making them again.

This recipe was very easy to prepare and does taste pretty good, but it is not like "to die for" amazing and nothing overly spectacular. What I do like however is that it is moist and holds together quite well. Make sure you add all the sugar it states as the apricots can be quite tart and the walnuts bitter.

Pretty good tasting, except the crust is very thin and crispy. I might recommend using a smaller pan and maybe not baking the crust ahead of time, just baking it with the topping on it already.

I got some very ambivalent reviews for this recipe... Some loved it, others hated it. Personally, I found the flavor of the coconut combined with the apricots and walnuts too sickeningly sweet and unpleasant. Also, the SUPER crunchy crust was in contrast with the soft, mushy filling wasn't pleasant. Will definitely not make this again.

Very easy to make, which is important for a busy mom. They lasted only two hours in my house, that's how good they were.

This is excellent! I did it first just how it said, but I left the walnuts out as my housemate is allergic to nuts. Second time, I spread some apricot jam between the two layers, and soaked the apricots in a coconut-rum liquor overnight instead of boiling them in water for ten minutes. makes it divine!

These are the best! but I made them in a 9x9 pan & used pecans ISO walnuts. Also, I didn't have lemon juice & used white vinegar & it didn't spoil the taste at all. Do you have any other recipes like this? I'd love to try them

I made these for gifts during the holidays and they were a big hit. I did leave the coconut out but still wonderful! Will make these again!

This was the best recipe that I tried this year. I love that this bar has a crisp crust on the bottom while the rest is soft, and it isn't super sweet. The only thing I did different is cook the apricots a little longer than 10 min. Everyone loved this recipe at our Christmas party!

I am not personally fond of apricots but I wanted give this a shot. Some pieces were more sweet than others but the overall recipe was sweet in itself. I liked it though - it was okay - but my boyfriend and his coworker loved it! Is there any suggestion on how to make it less sweeter than it is and more on top of the crust? It was good though...

I made these for Christmas, along with several other cookies. THESE were gone first! I had to leave out the nuts and thought it would look more festive with the coconut sprinkled on top. I cut them into diamond shapes. A friend even wanted some to take home!

These were very good and easy. I used sliced almonds instead of walnuts. I might try a slightly smaller pan next time so that the shortbread base is thicker.

These are fabulous! I chopped up a bar of good quality dark chocolate and sprinkled it over the coconut before the second baking. Adults and kids alike gobbled these up. Kid friendly, but not too sweet.

Really great, and a nice change from the usual chocolatey stuff I always end up making at Christmastime. I'll be doing these again! I used chopped up raw almonds, and I left them fairly chunky, and we loved it.
