Last week when I was searching for recipes to use up the pears I had in the fridge I came across this recipe from Not Quite Nigella.
I made it and I was so easy and quite impressive to look at and tasted good too. Last night I made Apricot Chicken and had some leftover apricots so i decided to switch the recipe around a bit and make a new version.
INGREDIENTS
1 Cup Apricot halves
1 1/2 Cups Plain Flour
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Cup desiccated coconut
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
125 gm melted butter
1 Egg
Extra coconut and brown sugar for the top.
LET’S PUT IT ALTOGETHER
1. In a small bowl place the flour, baking powder, sugar and coconut and stir to combine.
2. Add the egg and melted butter and mix well to form a dough.
3. In a lined loaf tin place a 1 cm layer of dough over the base pressing down with your fingers. You should have half the dough mixture left.
4. Spread the apricot halves over the dough.
5. Roll the dough into balls and place randomly over the apricots until all used.
6. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar and coconut.
7. Bake in a 150 degree Celcius oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Enjoy warm with ice cream or custard or cold the next day with a cuppa.
