Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan, or line with paper muffin cups. Place apricots into a small bowl, and pour the boiling water over them. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, buttermilk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended. It is okay for the batter to have some lumps. Drain water from apricots, and mix them into the batter. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.

A fluffy muffin bursting with flavor. This is a great muffin base recipe. I use it for all my muffin baking, just change the ingredients to use what I have on hand. The apricot is so wonderful. People who don't like apricots even ask for more of these.I Usually use my dehydrated apricots but fresh works great also.

- For the best flavor, use fresh apricots. If fresh apricots are not available, you can use frozen apricots that have been thawed and drained.
- To ensure even baking, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing them together.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough muffins.
- For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with granulated sugar before baking.
- To test if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
