Gluten Free Rustic Apricot Slice Recipe
This rustic gluten free apricot recipe dishes up “a slice of the gluten free good life” without the sugar bomb. This is a little bit more fiddly and time consuming than most of my recipes, but is well worth the effort. Trust me, snouts far and wide unanimously agree – this recipe is a stunner. The first time I tasted this delectable treat, it was made and served to me by an eight year old. So it is literally child’s play, and absolutely S’Blended! I will offer a disclaimer when enjoying this apricot delight: this recipe is so delicious; it can be a challenge stopping at one piece! **Read the whole recipe before starting. Start by soaking the apricots - they need an hour to soak. Then make the base and cook, and then the filling, and then the topping.
