Apricot Slice
Made this simple, delicious and vibrant Apricot Slice for afternoon tea. Everybody loved the light tangy taste of the dried apricot and can't wait for their second helping. I think this would be great to serve on Christmas holidays as you can wrap the Apricot slices and store them in the fridge for about a week and then allow them to cool at room temperature half an hour before serving. As apricot pairs well with almond, I suggest you change the topping to almond flakes because the diced dried apricot almost turned black even I sprinkled them after 15 minutes of baking. Anyway I'm definitely going to make this again ~ A keeper for sure!
