This bread is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use different dried fruits or nuts to change up the flavor.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed this bread. The almond flavor is really prominent and the bread is very moist.

I made this bread in a loaf pan instead of a bundt pan and it still turned out great. It's a great recipe to have on hand for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar.
