This apricot cobbler is one of our favorite summer desserts. When I was growing up, we had lots of apricot trees and we had to come up with things to do with the extra fruit!

Ingredients
- 1 cup water

Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Bring water, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a boil; stir until thickened, about 1 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add apricots and 1 tablespoon butter. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut 7 tablespoons butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles a coarse crumb. Stir milk into crumbles until topping is just moistened. Spoon topping over apricot mixture. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over topping.
