INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp unsalted sweet cream butter, at room temperature 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar 1/2 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1/8 tbsp salt 1 large egg, beaten 6 firm-ripe apricots, halved and pitted
1 pint of your favorite ice cream



1 Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct, medium-high heat (the charcoal or gas flame is directly under the cooking area, and you can comfortably hold your hand just above grill only 3 to 4 seconds. In a medium bowl, mix butter with 1 tbsp sugar until smooth, then add almonds, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and salt, and stir to combine. Drizzle in 1 tbsp of the beaten egg and stir to moisten mixture. Discard remaining egg.
2 Arrange 6 of the apricot halves, cut side up, on a sheet of foil placed on a baking sheet. Arrange remaining apricots on a second sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous tbsp of almond mixture into each half. Transfer apricots (still on foil) to grill. Cover and cook until apricots are slightly softened and almond mixture is puffed and brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
3 Serve warm, with ice cream, if desired.
