Serves 6 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Macaroni
2 cups, uncooked
Unsalted butter
4 tablespoons
Fresh apricots
2 cups, diced (or 1 cup dried apricots, chopped)
Brown sugar
1/2 cup
All-purpose flour
1/2 cup
Old-fashioned oats
1 cup
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced apricots and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
  5. Add the cooked macaroni into the saucepan with the apricots. Stir gently to combine, allowing the macaroni to soak up some of the apricot juices.
  6. Transfer the macaroni and apricot mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the oat topping mixture over the macaroni and apricots, ensuring an even coverage.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the oat topping mixture.
  • 💡 You can substitute other stone fruits like peaches or plums if apricots are out of season.
  • 💡 Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like experience.
