Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by spraying it lightly with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup softened butter and 1 cup brown sugar and mix until creamy. Then add ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 and ½ cups rolled oats, and 1 cup all-purpose flour and stir until crumbly.
  3. Set aside about 2 cups of the oat mixture and press the remaining crumbs firmly into the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Spread 1 cup of apricot preserves evenly over the base layer.
