Ingredients

  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) apricot halves in syrup
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract

  • In a small bowl, beat eggs on medium-high speed until lemon-colored. Gradually beat in sugar and reserved syrup. Stir in almond extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture, beating just until moistened. Spoon batter over apricots.
