How to Make Microwaved Apricot Egg Custard

Preheat your microwave. Divide 8 apricot halves (about 1 cup) between 4 oven-safe ramekins or microwave-safe dishes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gently pour the custard mixture evenly over the apricots in each ramekin.
Sprinkle a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg over each custard.
Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes, or until the custard is set and no longer wobbly in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage. Start with 4 minutes, then check for doneness. Microwave in 30-second intervals if needed.
Let the custards cool slightly before serving. Top with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of decadence!
