Could I reduce the brown sugar in this recipe? None of your examples seem to address this kind of bake:

Apricot Dream Bars
Ingredients
½ cup butter
¼ cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
⅓ cup flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
⅔ cup cooked and chopped dried apricots
½ tsp vanilla
½ cup nuts (I always put in more, like 1 cup)

Directions

Combine first three ingredients (butter, sugar, flour). and pat into the bottom of a baking dish...I usually use an 8 x 8 or similar. Bake 15 minutes at 350F.

Combine eggs, brown sugar. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Add the apricots and nuts. Pour over baked crust and bake 30 minutes at 350F. Cool.

Cut into bars. If desired, sift powdered sugar over top or provide a shaker of powdered sugar.
