This recipe was a disaster! The apricots were sour and the cream cheese filling was lumpy. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I didn't like the combination of apricots and cream cheese. I think I'll stick to traditional French toast next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler French toast recipe next time.

I had a hard time finding fresh apricots, so I used dried apricots instead. They worked fine, but I think fresh apricots would have been better.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some spices or herbs next time to give it more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

So yummy! I used canned apricots and they worked great. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cream cheese filling.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The apricots were not overpowering and the cream cheese filling was delicious. I'll definitely make this again.

This stuffed apricot French toast was a delightful treat! The apricots added a touch of sweetness and tartness, while the cream cheese filling was rich and creamy. The bread was perfectly toasted and fluffy. I highly recommend this recipe!
