Apricot Slice (Bars) image

My mum bought some of this slice from a local Country Women's Association CWA cake stall. She enjoyed it so much that she asked for the recipe. Posting this recipe for my Mum. I think it would be just as good if made with a gluten-free flour blend, though I haven't tried making it gluten-free yet.
