Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh apricots
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Almond slices (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the apricots. Slice each apricot in half and remove the pit.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add brown sugar and stir until combined with the butter to create a caramel-like mixture.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and mix well.
Step 5
Place the apricot halves cut-side down into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the apricots are tender and slightly caramelized. Flip them gently and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low-medium heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and powdered sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the cream is slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 7
To serve, place 4 apricot halves on each plate. Drizzle the warm cream sauce generously over the apricots.
Step 8
Garnish with almond slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
