Ingredients
- 8 ripe apricots, split in half, pits discarded
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped pistachios
- 1/3 cup crème fraîche
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
-
Arrange apricot halves cut-side-up in a baking pan just large enough to accommodate them (8x8-inch or thereabouts).
-
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apricots.
-
Cut the butter into 16 tiny pieces and put one piece on top of each apricot half.
-
Scatter the pistachios over the top of the fruit.
-
Bake until the apricots soften enough so the tip of a knife slides right in, 30 to 35 minutes (time varies depending on size and ripeness of the fruit).
-
Divide fruit onto dessert plates or small shallow bowls and serve warm with a spoonful of creme fraiche. Drizzle a honey over the top, if desired.
