Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, thaw and drain them first to remove excess liquid that could make the filling too watery.
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. The rest of the ingredients remain the same.
Vanilla ice cream is classic, but whipped cream, crème fraîche, or a drizzle of heavy cream also pair beautifully.
Yes, you can reduce the sugar by up to one-third, but keep in mind sugar helps thicken the fruit juices and balance the tartness of apricots.
The biscuit topping should be deep golden brown, and the apricot filling should be bubbling around the edges.
