Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 13" x 9" baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Then stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter until it all holds together. Then, using an electric mixer, mix the batter for 1 minute.

Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture. Press the rest of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

In a small bowl, stir together the apricots and coconut. Spread this mixture over the crumb mixture in the pan, leaving it within a 1/2" of the pan's edges. Spread the reserved crumb mixture on top and bake for 22-27 minutes, watching it closely so it bakes until lightly browned but doesn't burn.

Cool pan on a baking rack for at least 30 minutes and then cut into squares. Once cool they will keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
