"I got the idea for these from Derf's wonderful Date Raisin Squares - Microwave recipe#8545. I had an abundance of fresh apriums from my tree to use up, and also thought coconut would be a great addition to the crust. These turned out sooooo Yummy! My oven is broken, but I don't even miss it with these, you can't tell they were made in the microwave. It's the perfect recipe for Summertime!"

I love this recipe so much, I tried it with fresh peaches and fresh rhubarb! Shared with my mom. So nice on hot days to be able to make a "baked" goody! Thanks T for sharing this recipe! Sorry, it wasn't made with apricots, but this way others can see how easy it is to switch it up! Next I want to try strawberries!
