Steps

1

Cream butter with sugar, mix well
2

Add egg yolk, mix until fluffy
3

Add flour and mix until dough is formed. Dough will be soft when finished.
4

Divide dough in half. Set one aside and flatten the other half in a 9×13 pan
5

Once flattened, spread your jam evenly over the dough.
6

Sprinkle pieces of the other half of dough on top of the jam. Try to cover completely, as best as you can.
7

Gently press down dough with a spatula
8

Add crushed pecans or walnuts
9

Set oven to 350° and bake for 40-45 minutes
10

When finished baking, dough should be a very light golden brown (almost the same color as they were when they went in the oven.. it'll be "hard" to tell if they're done, but if you see some of the apricot bubbling, they're done)
11

Sprinkle on your powered sugar

Cut into 1 inch squares and enjoy!!
