Now this sounds fabulous. Can't wait to try. I love apricots and never thought about putting them in cobbler form. Thanks for posting.


OKOKOK I've made it and it is in the oven baking and we will enjoy it tonight. I've got to go buy vanilla ice cream and that should top it off nicely. It would've been my parents 69th wedding anniversary but dad didn't make it. I'm making something special/different for my mom , I'm sure she'll enjoy it.
