These are tasty, very easy and VERY crumbly. They're especially good warmed. I keep thinking something is missing, though. Maybe finely chopped nuts? Or vanilla? Or a little lemon rind? A TB of fruit liqueur? I used Smucker's Low Sugar apricot preserves, which worked well and keeps sugar and calories down a bit.

Very good, quick and easy. I did the recipe plus half again to make a 9x13 pan, which worked out fine. I didn't have apricot preserves, so I used a mix of raspberry and jalapeno jellies, which was delicious. This is a quick and easy recipe that's a little different than the usual.
