It has been a favorite of my family and many others that read it in our self published cookbook " The Main Menu of Memories".

APRICOT CASSEROLE



Apricot Casserole image

This recipe is from the Colonial Park United Methodist Church cookbook in Memphis, TN. There's no date on the cookbook, but I remember my mother being the editor for it when I was in high school, so late 60's. This recipe was submitted by Elizabeth Riggins. She classified it as a side dish, but I think of it as a dessert.

Provided by Pamela Rappaport

Categories     Fruit Sides

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large can apricot halves (this is how the recipe reads, i use two 15 oz cans)
1/2 box light brown sugar
2 sleeves ritz crackers, crumbled
1 stick butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300
  • 2. Drain apricots and place in casserole dish.
  • 3. Top with sugar, then cracker crumbs and then butter.
  • 4. Bake for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots: This will ensure that your casserole is naturally sweet and flavorful. If you can't find ripe apricots, you can substitute canned apricots, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overcook the apricots: They should be soft but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality bread: The type of bread you use will make a big difference in the final product. A good quality, sturdy bread will hold up well in the casserole and won't become soggy.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the casserole. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Serve the casserole warm: This is when it is at its best. You can serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Conclusion:

Apricot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh apricots, and it is also a good make-ahead dish. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, apricot casserole is sure to be a hit.
