1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup firm margarine or butter
2 large eggs, beaten, reserve 1 tablespoon
1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped

Streusel Mix:
1 tablespoon margarine or butter, melted

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In medium bowl, mix together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using pastry blender or two knives, cut margarine into dry ingredients, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in eggs, sour cream, apricots and milk.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat into 10 x 11-inch rectangle. Cut into two 5 x 11-inch sections. Mix streusel ingredients with a fork and lightly pat onto one piece of dough; cover with other piece. With sharp knife cut into triangles.
