Tips:

Use ripe apricots: Ripe apricots are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which will make your muffins more delicious. If you don't have ripe apricots, you can use dried apricots instead. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using them.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups all the way to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
