How to Make Baked Apricots France

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter a large (approximately 9x13 inch) baking dish.
  2. Arrange 1 pound of apricot halves, cut-side up, in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the apricots evenly with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and dot with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the apricots are tender, caramelized, and slightly softened but still hold their shape. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
