These golden, layered bars are the kind of treat that looks impressive on a platter but comes together with surprisingly humble ingredients. A tender cassava and tapioca crust gives way to a warmly spiced apricot paste ā simmered down with honey, lemon juice, and a hint of ginger until it's thick, jammy, and deeply fragrant. The toasted coconut topping adds crunch and a subtle sweetness that makes every bite feel balanced rather than cloying. Because the ingredient list is built entirely around whole, naturally derived foods, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden vegetable-based additives or fillers that can sneak into store-bought bars. The crust crumbles and coconut layer bake together into something almost streusel-like, which means you get three distinct textures in one neat square. Letting them cool completely before slicing is the one step worth being patient about ā it's what keeps those layers clean and intact when you cut through.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8Ć8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
Make the apricot filling: combine the chopped dried apricots, water, 2 tbsp honey, lemon juice, and ground ginger in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apricots are very soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10ā12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until a thick, spreadable paste forms. Set aside.
