1. Preheat your oven to 180°C or 350°F and line a tray with baking paper.
2. Place the ingredients into your processor and blend until they are broken down, well combined and sticking together.
3. Use your hands to press and shape the mixture into balls. Place the balls onto the lined tray and gently flatten.

*The apricots I used were large and soft, if yours are dry you may want to pre-soak them in boiling water, if they are small you may want to increase the amount used.

**you can use rice malt syrup if you prefer.
