Ingredients
- Apricots
- 4 cups, sliced
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup, melted
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon, plus extra for sprinkling
- Cooked macaroni
- 2 cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apricots evenly and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the apricot mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Spoon the macaroni mixture over the top of the apricots, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle additional cinnamon over the macaroni layer for an aromatic touch.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apricots are bubbling with delight.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips
- For a more complex flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon topping.
- If fresh apricots are not in season, canned or frozen apricots can be used—just be sure to drain them well.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
