    Title: Apricot Mud Hen Cake Bars
    Categories: Cakes, Fruits, Nuts, Desserts
    Yield: 24 Servings

    3/4 c Butter; softened
    1/3 c Sugar
    2 lg Egg yolks; room temp
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1 1/2 c A-P flour
    1/8 ts Salt

    MMMMM--------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
    2 lg Egg whites; room temp
    1/8 ts Cream of tartar
    1/3 c Sugar
    3/4 c Fine chopped pecans
    1 c Apricot preserves

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and
    fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating
    well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another
    bowl, whisk flour and salt; beat into creamed mixture.
    Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake until a
    toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 12-15
    minutes.

    Meanwhile for meringue, with clean beaters, beat egg
    whites with cream of tartar on medium speed until foamy.
    Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on
    high after each addition until sugar is dissolved.
    Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form; gently
    fold in pecans.

    Spread preserves over hot cake. Spread meringue over
    preserves, sealing meringue to edges of pan. Bake until
    meringue is golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cool completely
    on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
