4 cups chopped apricots
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup butter melted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the fruit in a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, cinnamon, salt, arrowroot, and almond extract. Stir to combine and then let rest on the counter while preparing the crust. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the flour, starch, oats, and brown sugar. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Press half of this mixture into a well-buttered or parchment lined 9x13 pan. Pour the fruit over the bottom crust and then sprinkle the rest of the dry mixture on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown. Serve warm from the oven or let cool completely and slice into servings.
