Ingredients:
6 -8 apricots ( but have some extra ones ready)
80 g amaretti cookies ( 2 7/8 ounces)
80 g sugar ( 2 7/8 ounces)
1 egg yolks
1/4 cup Amaretto
1/3 cup white wine
butter, for greasing
12 blanched almonds
Directions:
Please note: I will have to check the amount of filling and the amount of apricots again, which I will do soon. If you decide to make it, please have some extra apricots ready.
Preheat oven to 180 C (355 F).
Put amaretti cookies into a small bowl and pour the amaretto over it.
Wash apricots and cut them in halves. Discard the stone.
Using a spoon, take out some of the fruit flesh without hurting the skin. Roughly chop the fruit flesh.
Add sugar, egg yolk and chopped apricot flesh to the amaretti cookies and mix. While mixing, crush the cookies with a spoon. Do not mix for too long; it’s nice to have some cookie chunks.
Fill the apricots with the mixture, ca 1 tablespoon per half.
Put into a well buttered oven-proof baking dish.
Pour white wine over apricots.
Bake for ca 25 minutes or until done.
