These bars are the kind of treat that looks impressive on a plate but comes together with a surprisingly short ingredient list and no fussy techniques. The base is built from cassava flour and tapioca starch, giving it a tender, slightly crumbly texture that holds together beautifully once pressed and pre-baked. A jammy apricot filling ā simmered down with honey, lemon juice, and a hint of ginger ā gets spread over that warm crust in a thick, fragrant layer that tastes like sunshine. The toasted coconut topping adds chew, crunch, and a subtle richness that ties everything together. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, these bars are a genuinely satisfying option because every layer relies on coconut oil, honey, and fruit ā no hidden nut-based flours or fillings to second-guess. The parchment overhang trick makes lifting and slicing clean and easy, so you get neat, bakery-worthy bars every time. They're the kind of thing you'll want to keep on hand all week.

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.
