Baked Apricots dessert is the perfect summer dessert. Serve it with ice cream and cover in its own syrup that is a mix of apricots, cinnamon, butter and vanilla. Just Perfection!!!
3tbspsraw cane sugar you can use brown sugar, regular sugar or sugar substitutes to your choice.
1tbspvanilla extract
1tspcinnamon
6scoopsvanilla ice cream (1 big scoop per person or as desired)
6cinnamon sticks (optional) for garnish
Instructions
Make sure butter is room temperature.
Wash and dry the apricots. Cut them in half and remove the seed.
Place apricots in a baking tray of your choice.
Turn oven on at 375 degrees. I used a toaster oven because the baking tray I was using is not too big.
In a bowl mix sugar, vanilla and butter. Add cinnamon too. I used a spoon and mixed for about 30 seconds to a minute. I mixed until it became a homogeneous, thick buttery mix. Scoop with a spoon and place the buttery mix in the middle of each apricot half. Fill it up and use the left overs to slather a bit on the sides too.
Bake for about 12 minutes.
Let the baked apricots cool down for about 10 minutes.
Serve 2 halves per person. Add Ice Cream on top and pour few tbsps of the syrup on top. Add a cinnamon stick on the side of the plate as garnish. Serve fast because ice cream will start melting since the apricots are still warm. Enjoy:)

Notes
You can also add honey or maple syrup instead of sugar, but might need to adjust the quantity to your taste.
