This looks like a great recipe. I love apricots but don’t eat them very often. I love that you can freeze these. I’m thinking that a frozen one of these would make an excellent gift for my in-laws!

I made this treat a few weeks ago and once again, thanks! it was actually extremely simple and so yummy. i have to perfect my skills to make my streussel look as pretty and neat as yours but for my first time, i think i did a pretty bang up job. Keep the good recipes coming.

[...] Apricot Coffee Cake, though I think I’d make it not-apricot. Maybe just a simple maple and brown sugar? I like the ease with which this can be varied. [...]

Oh Yum! I’m going to try this this week. It looks so pretty!!! I think I will try using some peach jam I made this summer as the filling. (It didn’t set up well so it should be the right consistency.

Laurie, dried cherries would probably be fabulous!

Kristin, no worries on the misspelling. lol And to answer your question, I actually don’t eat stuff this indulgent all that often. I do bake bread all the time, but it’s often whole wheat sandwich bread or hamburger buns and stuff of that sort. And it’s not like I eat just homemade bread….I also eat yogurt and cheese and fruits and vegetables and nuts and chicken and oatmeal and so on.

Since I always have homemade yeast breads around the house, it’s not that tempting to overindulge because there’s always more bread the next day, you know? So there’s that, and then too I don’t spend a lot of time sitting still either. I’m busy almost all day long and I figure I probably burn a fair number of calories that way. Plus, I’m kind of tall (5 feet, 8.5 inches), and I think my body is somewhat inclined to be lightweight (I have a pretty light bone structure).

I’m so glad you find my blog to be helpful…thanks for the encouragement!

My only question is how you are able to eat stuff like this and still look like you do…you have no weight on you and I just gained 10 lbs. looking at your pictures

I’m sorry I misspelled your name on my blog post by the way. I hate it when people misspell mine, because there’s gotta be a million variations, but I just assume they’re all like mine. Thanks so much for all you put into your blog and the ideas. I may just have to try some of them during the coming year so that come Christmas they might be worth giving!

Can’t wait to try this. Over the summer, I dehydrated 15 pounds of cherries. Lots of work for very little end results. The cherries dried to a fraction of their size so what little I have has been saved for something special. Thanks!! I’m pretty sure I’ve found that “something special”. I just recently found your site and absolutely love it. Thanks again.

I imagine spreading a little glaze on the dough before sprinkling on the streudel topping would help it stick. Egg beaten with water, sugar water or – of course! – thinned out apricot jam or the liquid from canned apricots.
