Method

- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5/190 C/375 F or 170 C for a fan assisted oven. Grease and line a 20cm (8inch) square cake tin with baking parchment.

- Put the apricots in a saucepan with the orange juice. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Leave to cool, then blend in a food processor until smooth, and add a few drops orange extract.

- Mix the flour, oats and sugar in a bowl, and rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture clings together.

- Put half the mixture in the base of the tin and press down well. Spread over the apricot mixture. Sprinkle over the remaining crumble and bake for about 30 mins until lightly golden.

- Cool in the tin, then cut into 12 bars to serve.
