California Apricots Are Here - The Easiest Dessert You Ever Prepare !

The first fresh California apricots of this season are hitting the market as we speak. Something about apricots. It is one of these fruits that mean nothing to me fresh, but when you dry, cook or bake them, they seem to trun into something magical. Here is the quickest and easiest apricot dessert you will ever prepare:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pull 2 pounds of apricots apart with your hands and remove their pits. Put apricots in a pie plate--or any other baking or souffle form you have. Melt 1 stick of butter and stir in 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour and a pinch of salt and cover apricots with the mixture. Bake for about 40 minutes and serve warm, with some Häagen-Dazs® vanilla ice cream.
