First off I have to say that I made this wrong, but didn't realize it until after we ate. I think it would be a lot better the correct way, even though it was good as it was. It doesn't make a very big batch, as you can tell from the picture. Perfect for one or two people.<br/>I accidentally put the apricot on before I put in the oven, instead of after. so that is why it looks kind of dry. It had a good flavor. I will make this again.<br/>I made this for "Zaar Cookbook Tag 2013".
