Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apricots, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the apricots are well-coated.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture is crumbly.
- In a baking dish, spread the cooked fettuccine evenly and layer the apricot mixture on top. Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the apricots.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the apricots are soft and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- For an added crunch, consider incorporating chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, into the crumble topping.
- If apricots are not in season, feel free to substitute with peaches or nectarines for a similar flavor profile.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a light dessert wine, which can enhance the sweetness of the apricots.
