Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Prepare an 8-by-8-inch square baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ancho chile powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir in the almond, apricots, chocolate, cranberries, dates, figs, brown sugar and popped amaranth. Use your fingers to make sure that everything has been coated with the flour mixture evenly.
- In a separate bowl, using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the honey, vanilla and egg until thick in texture, about 1 minute. Add the egg mixture to the fruit and flour mixture and mix using a spatula until everything is coated with the egg mixture. Spread onto the prepared baking pan, pressing to even out.
- Bake until the batter is golden brown and can pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
- Lift the bar from the pan by the edges of the aluminum foil. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 even squares.
APPLE PIE BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the crust, place the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and creamy. Sift the flour and salt together and, with the mixer on low, slowly add to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until combined. Scatter two-thirds of the dough in clumps in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and press it lightly with floured hands on the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides (use a metal measuring cup to make the corners). Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown, and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, put the mixing bowl with the remaining dough back on the mixer, add the walnuts and cinnamon and mix on low speed to combine. Set aside.
- Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the filling, combine the Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples and lemon juice in a very large bowl. Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix well. Melt the butter in a large (10-inch-diameter) pot, add the apples and simmer over medium to medium-low heat, stirring often, for 12 to 15 minutes, until the apples are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Spread the apples evenly over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Pinch medium pieces of the remaining dough with your fingers and drop them evenly on top of the apples (they will not be covered). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the topping is browned. Cool completely and cut into bars.
- To store the bars, cool them completely, wrap tightly and keep at room temperature for up to 2 days.

APRICOT STREUSEL BARS
I clipped this from a magazine years ago, and just now came across it again. I was introduced to the wonders of apricot in baked goods by my grandmother, who made an apricot-filled pastry every Christmas. Ever since, I have a weakness for apricot in my holiday cookies, and so I'm always looking for new recipes to add to my collection. Though I haven't tried this one yet, I just know it's a winner -- with a walnut crust and a tangy apricot filling, how could these bars be anything but scrumptious? :)
