How to Make Apricot Beer Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup beer (any kind will do!).
Using a fork, mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently stir in 1 cup dried apricots, chopped.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the loaf is light golden brown.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
