Found some lovely apricots at the store and decided to try this -- glad I did! I made a half-recipe because I was the only one home. I didn't have any slivered almonds, so I chopped up a few whole almonds instead. I drizzled some extra honey over them after they baked, too. I sprinkled them with a little too much ginger, so they were a bit zingy, but that was my own fault. I didn't have any apricot-friendly ice cream in the house, so I just ate them as-is. I'll definitely be keeping this recipe on hand for apricot season, thanks for posting! Made for the Emerald City Shakers for ZWT7

If you like apricots, then you'll love this recipe. Mine were cooked perfectly in 10 minutes. I did use Agave in place of honey, but made them as written otherwise. Served them for breakfast, drizzled with some vanilla yogurt. Very nice. THANKS Kim!!! Recipenapped for Veg*n Tag July 2009.

Kim, I'm so sorry but this recipe just didn't suit our tastes. We love apricots, almonds and honey, so I thought we would enjoy the dish. Somehow the flavor combination just didn't suit us. Thanks for posting Kim. Made for Potluck, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.

Wonderful...without ice cream. Tart and sweet and unctuous and crunchy. And sooooooo easy! My highest compliments!

Mummmmmm, lovely ! this tastes great. I have slivered almonds and turned the baking cupboard upside down looking for them, with no success so blitzed some whole almonds used them instead. Great combination of flavours, I would use more honey though. I accidently left mine in the oven for 20 minutes and they came out soft and georgous, a lovely balance of squishy cooked apricots and crunchy nuts... and the aroma of almond ... glorious. Please see my rating system a wonderful 4 stars for an easy and delish dessert. Thanks!
