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.
