My aunt gave me this recipe ten years ago, when we were celebrating Christmas at her house. I have made it every year since then, and now my family considers it one of our traditions. The secret ingredient is baby food. This looks so pretty on the table. The color is fabulous. It's also great for Thanksgiving.

Apricot Dream Cupcakes image

I love Apricots and needed to think up something different to go with dinner. Creating this cupcake is like a dream come true! So moist and not a overwhelming flavor. You can put any frosting on these, I picked a whipped cream frosting because I used the left over Apricot filling to put in the center of the cupcakes. That way...

(You can use Apricot Jam)

  • 6. Using a cake spatula blend the egg whites into your batter.
  • 7. Fill your cupcakes 3/4 full and bake at 350 degree for 12 to 15 minutes or until testing with a toothpick and it comes out clean.
  • 8. Decorate using a frosting of your choice. Note: With the leftover Apricot filling place a tiny bit into the center of your cupcake using a paring knife to cut a slit and insert. Frost with whipped cream frosting

Tips:

  • Choose the right apricots: Fresh, ripe apricots are the key to a great apricot dream. Look for fruits that are plump, firm, and have a deep orange color.
  • Prep your apricots: Wash the apricots thoroughly and remove the pits. You can either slice them or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
  • Sweeten to taste: Apricots can vary in sweetness, so taste your filling before adding sugar. You may need to adjust the amount of sugar depending on your personal preference.
  • Use a thickener: A thickener, such as cornstarch or flour, will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny. Add it gradually, stirring constantly, until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Chill before serving: Apricot dream is best served chilled. Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
