Apricots with macaroon topping

Annabel Langbein media

Annabel says: This coconut topping can be baked over any ripe stonefruit and also used as a topping for slices or tarts. Make it in bulk and keep it in the fridge for up to a week.

Ingredients

6 large	Apricots, or 8-10 small (Main)
1 cup	Cream
1 cup	Sugar
3 cups	Shredded coconut
½ tsp	Vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 160C fanbake and line a baking dish with baking paper for easy clean-up.
2. Halve apricots and remove stones.
3. Pack closely in a single layer in the baking dish, cut-side up.
4. 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.
5. 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.
