Tips:

  • If you are using dried apricots, be sure to soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using them.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apricots. This will help to prevent the apricots from tearing.
  • Be careful not to overfill the tea rings. If the tea rings are too full, they will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the tea rings until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the tea rings cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from oozing out.
  • Serve the tea rings with your favorite tea or coffee.
