Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the halved apricots, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until all the apricots are evenly coated in the mixture.
- Transfer the apricot filling into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and softened butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the apricot mixture, ensuring an even cover.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the apricots are tender and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Tips
- For a twist, try adding some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the oat topping for an extra crunch.
- Feel free to mix in other fruits such as peaches or berries for a unique flavor blend.
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the apricot mixture.
