Ingredients

  • 8 ripe apricots , split in half, pits discarded
  • 1 packed tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped pistachios
  • 1/3 cup creme fraiche
  • 1 generous teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

  2. Arrange apricot halves cut-side-up in a baking pan just large enough to accommodate them (8x8-inch or thereabouts).
  3. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apricots.
  4. Cut the butter into 16 tiny pieces and put one piece on top of each apricot half.
  5. Scatter the pistachios over the top of the fruit.
  6. 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).

  7. 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.
