Ingredients

6 large or 8–10 small apricots

1 cup cream

1 cup sugar

3 cups shredded coconut

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Preheat oven to 160ºC fanbake and line a baking dish with baking paper for easy clean-up.

Halve apricots and remove stones.

Pack closely in a single layer in the baking dish, cut-side up.

Place cream and sugar in a medium pot and heat, stirring, until the cream boils and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and mix in coconut and vanilla. Divide over the apricots.

Bake until topping is golden and crispy and apricots are soft (about 40 minutes). If macaroon browns too rapidly, cover with foil until apricots are cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Serve this with Crème Anglaise
