ingredients

  • 2 pounds halved and pitted apricots
  • 2 cups raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla paste
  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup (1 stick) frozen unsalted butter

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2

    Heat the sugar, water, honey, and vanilla paste together in a small saucepan. Add the thyme, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to the syrup and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Place the apricots and raspberries in a cast iron skillet or 10 inch baking dish. Spread the fruit out in an even layer. Remove the thyme from the syrup and pour over the fruit.

  • Step 4

    For the topping, stir the brown sugar, flour, oats, almonds, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl. Grate the frozen butter over the dry ingredients and toss it together. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the fruit.

  • Step 5

    Bake until golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
