Oatmeal and Fruit Bars

3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
3/4 cup chopped dates
3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 cup apple butter
1 tablespoon sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the oat, cinnamon, and cloves in a large bowl. Add dates and apricots, stir in apple butter. Mix until ingredients are well blended and oats are moistened with apple butter. Spread mixture in 8 x 13 non-stick pan. Pat it down to make an even bottom layer. Sprinkle sugar over surface. Bake for 2 min. Immediately cut into 2" squares, do not remove from pan. Allow to cool, go over cuts with knife again, and serve. They're even better on the second day.
