How to Make Apricot Nut Bread
- In a small saucepan, combine dried apricots and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook until apricots are soft, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and lightly flour two 7x3x2-inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add melted butter, milk, orange juice, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the drained apricots, chopped nuts, and orange zest.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 55 minutes.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
