Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
  2. Wash and slice the fresh apricots in half, discarding the pits. Arrange halves cut-side up in the greased dish.
  3. Whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the custard base.
  4. Incorporate flour and salt into the wet mixture, whisk continuously until lump-free.
  5. Pour the batter over the arranged apricot halves and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Check doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
