Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually stir in the water and cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring continuously. Once boiling, cook for 1 additional minute, then reduce the heat.
2
Gently fold in the drained apricots and the tablespoon of butter, allowing the mixture to heat through. Pour this warm apricot mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish, spreading it evenly.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping. Cut in the cold butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Pour the milk into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened — do not overmix. Spoon dollops of this batter over the hot apricot filling, spreading it out gently.
5
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
