Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 cup milk (2% or whole milk / room temperature)
- ⅓ cup butter (melted and cooled) or you can use vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-1¼ cups chopped apricots
- ⅓ cup chopped almonds
For room temperature remove the ingredients from the fridge approximately 60 minutes before using.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour a 9 inch (23 cm) loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the sugars, flour, baking powder and salt
- In a large bowl beat the egg, milk, butter and vanilla until smooth and combined (1 minute). Add the flour and stir 4-5 times add the chopped apricot and chopped almonds and stir just to combine. It should be lumpy but all the flour is incorporated. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with sugar if desired (I used demerara sugar), bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan then move to a wire rack or plate. Enjoy!

Notes
- I drizzled a simple vanilla glaze on the loaf before serving. Combine 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and a couple of tablespoons of milk or cream more or less to reach desired thickness.
- Once the bread is cooled to room temperature you can wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. It will keep well for a few days at room temperature or you can freeze it for up to three months well wrapped in a freezer safe container or bag.
