Here's an easy dessert that's got lots of restaurant-style flair. Serve with Mascarpone Topping (see below), ricotta cheese or some sinful vanilla ice cream or sensible frozen yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup liquid honey
  • 1/4 cup white wine or white grape juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 cups pitted halved apricots
  • Almond Crunch:
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds

Preparation

Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or grease; set aside.

Almond Crunch: In bowl, whisk egg white with sugar; add almonds, stirring until coated. Spread on prepared pan; bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool; break into pieces. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 2 days.)

In 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish, stir together honey, wine and cinnamon. Add apricots and toss gently; turn, cut side down, in dish. Roast in 425°F (220°C) oven until lightly browned on edges, about 10 minutes. Baste with honey mixture; turn and roast until tender, about 8 minutes.

Serve hot or cold topped with almond crunch.

Additional information : Mascarpone Topping: Blend 1/4 cup (50 mL) mascarpone cheese with 1 tbsp (15 mL) buttermilk or milk.

Makes about 1/4 cup (50 mL).
