  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups Bisquick-type quick mix
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Add the chopped apricots, sugar, quick mix, baking powder, and salt on top, and press each layer down firmly if you are using a jar.
  • Close it tightly and label it with the baking directions.

Notes

To bake: 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 slightly beaten eggs, 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine, powdered sugar for dusting (optional). Preheat oven to 350°F; grease a large loaf pan or 8x8 dish. Pour mix into a bowl, make a well, add milk, vanilla, eggs, and butter; mix until blended without overmixing. Spoon into pan. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until center tests done. Cool slightly; dust with powdered sugar if desired.
