These bars are the kind of treat that disappears fast ā chewy, fragrant, and layered with a jammy apricot filling that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. The crust comes together with cassava flour and tapioca starch, which means you get a tender, press-in base without a single grain of rice flour in sight. That's genuinely hard to pull off in grain-free baking, and the combination of solid coconut oil and honey gives it a crumbly, shortbread-like texture that holds up beautifully under the filling. Speaking of the filling, dried apricots are simmered down with lemon juice and ginger until they become a thick, glossy paste ā sweet, a little tangy, and deeply satisfying. The toasted coconut topping adds crunch and a subtle richness that ties everything together. These bars are naturally sweetened throughout, with honey doing all the heavy lifting across every layer. Let them cool completely before slicing and you'll get clean, bakery-worthy cuts every time.

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.
