Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the apricots are evenly coated.
- Transfer the apricot mixture to a greased baking dish (about 9x13 inches).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the apricot mixture in the baking dish, allowing some of the fruit to peek through.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the apricots are bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Tips
- For a twist, you can add a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the apricot mixture for added flavor and color.
- If you prefer a spicier profile, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the apricot mixture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
