Not sure where this one came from; one of the holiday baking mini-magazines, I think.

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup apricot nectar or 1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 finely snipped dried apricot
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
3 teaspoons apricot nectar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and cardamom; set aside.
3. Mix together until combined the egg, brown sugar, apricot nectar, applesauce, and oil.
4. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture, stirring just to combine. Stir in apricots.
5. Spread in an ungreased 11x7 pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours, then drizzle with icing and cut into bars.
6. To make icing: In a small bowl stir together the powdered sugar and enough apricot nectar to bring to drizzling consistency.
