These were okay. I think I would have liked them better if I used a different kind of fruit, like blueberries or cherries.

These were so easy to make and they turned out amazing! I used fresh apricots from my tree and they were so flavorful. The cream cheese filling was also delicious and the streusel topping added the perfect finishing touch.
