Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet Rapid Rise Yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used my Homemade Vanilla Extract)
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fruit Filling
- 3 ripe but firm apricots (pitted and thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Streusel Crumb Topping
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup slivered almonds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare and 8 x 8 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 350 °Fdegrees.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, set aside.
- Whisk the wet ingredient in a separate small bowl.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and with a hand held mixer beat for two minutes, dough will be very sticky.
- Evenly spread the dough into all four corners of the 8 x 8 inch pan. (Using a spoon dipped into warm water and pushing with the bowl of the spoon will make spreading the dough into all corners much easier!).
- Lightly cover the pan with a towel and allow to rise until doubled, about 20-30 minutes.
- While waiting prepare the fruit filling and streusel topping.
- Slice the apricots and mix with the fruit filling ingredients in a small bowl, set aside until needed.
- Next mix all the Streusel ingredients in a small bowl. Using your hands (or a pastry cutter) work the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form and set aside until needed.
- Once the dough has risen. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and mix with ¼ teaspoon ground Cinnamon.
- Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter and cinnamon, reserving about ¼ of the butter/cinnamon mixture to brush over the fruit.
- Arrange the apricot slices in a single layer over the top of the dough and pour any remaining juices from the bowl over the fruit.
- Brush the apricot slices with reserved ¼ of the melted butter and cinnamon mixture.
- Sprinkle Streusel topping over the apricot slices.
- Bake in a preheated 350 F. degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely before cutting.
