It's apricot time and I'm happy. I really love these round, juicy fruits, with the color of the sunset and the velvety skin. Few other fruits, when ripe, have such a creamy texture and strong aroma that I like to smell them with deep breaths, as if I had to store it in my memory.
I realize that there are several apricot recipes on the blog which means I always put them first when it came time… If we share the same enthusiasm came the right recipe for this year, so you can enjoy them uniquely in a delicious Clafoutis.
Yours!

 Ingredients (~10 servings)
|
 Put the sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat well with a hand mixer 3′-4 ′ and during the beating add the light oil in a very thin stream. It will become a white cream. Add the vanilla extract and beat for a very short time. |
 In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly and add them to the sugar/ butter mixture. Beat for very little. Do not overdo the beating just to combine the ingredients. |
 Finally, add in 3 portions the flour, sifted, in which we have put the baking powder. |
 Butter and line with non-stick paper a rectangular baking dish measuring 24×28×6 (9.4×11×2.4in). Pour a little more than half of the cake mixture into the mold. Pour the 2 apricots in small pieces on top and sprinkle with half the brown sugar. |
 Add the remaining beaten cake mixture to cover the pieces of apricots… |
 … and spread it gently with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar. |
 As a final layer, lightly dip the remaining 8 apricots in a row -cut into 2- with the cut side up. Sprinkle with almond slivers. |
 Bake in a preheated oven at 170℃ (338℉, Gas Mark:3,5) on the penultimate grill for about 1 hour. We try with a toothpick to come out clean. Remove from the oven on a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy. |
