Why this recipe works
Fruit and crumble without a pastry base
Two dessert servings fit a shallow dish about 18 × 14 cm. Ripe but sliceable apricots work better than very hard fruit. The butter amount includes greasing the dish.

Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Bake about 18 minutes at 170 °C. Apricots should yield easily to a knife and crumbs be baked beneath the surface too. Extend if needed without darkening them.
