How to Make Apricot Damper

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup Splenda (or granulated sugar), 1 cup chopped dried apricots, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom.
Gradually add 1 cup milk, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; a slightly shaggy dough is okay.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently once or twice to form a round loaf. Avoid over-kneading.
Brush the top of the loaf with a little extra milk.
Place the loaf on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
