I have tried several recipes and this is the best. I double the recipe and add about 1 teaspoon nutmeg to the flour, I use 3 eggs, and add some vanilla. Just make sure to wrap it up tight after its cooled so it stays moist... Time saving tip I will share is just to chop the apricots, place them in a glass measuring cup-add water, cover with Saran wrap, heat in microwave and then leave them covered until ready to use... Enjoy!! This recipe is a hit both at work and home!!
