Spread batter in an ungreased 11x7x1½-inch baking pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven about 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack. Drizzle with Apricot Icing. Cut into bars. Makes 24 bars.
APRICOT ICING: In a small mixing bowl stir together ½ cup powdered sugar and 2 to 3 teaspoons apricot nectar or orange juice.
