Be sure to start the apricots for the topping before you make the base so they can cool.

Make Topping:
Boil the apricots for about ten minutes in water to cover, drain and cool.

Combine the eggs with the brown sugar and beat until light.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt and add to the egg mixture. Add apricots, nuts, and vanilla. Blend mixture and spread evenly over base.

Return to oven and bake about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool. Cut into squares and dust with confectioners' sugar.
