Spanish baked apricot dessert with honey and rosemary Recipe
This dessert combines the sweetness of baked apricots with a light herbal note of rosemary and honey. In Spain, similar simple baked fruit desserts often appear in summer, when fruit is at its cheapest and most flavorful. It’s something between a compote and a cake – without the cake, but with all of its pleasant, warm part.

Ingredients
- apricots ripe but firm, halved and pitted - 600 g
- honey runny, e.g. multifloral - 3 tablespoons
- fresh rosemary leaves stripped from the stalk and finely chopped - 1 sprig
- lemon juice freshly squeezed - 1 tablespoon
- butter cut into small pieces - 20 g
- flaked almonds for sprinkling - 3 tablespoons
- thick plain yogurt or vanilla ice cream for serving, optional - 200 g
Main Ingredient:
apricots
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (top and bottom heat). Wash the apricots, cut them in half and remove the stones.
- Arrange the apricot halves cut side up in a single layer in an ovenproof dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey with the lemon juice and chopped rosemary. Taste and, if needed, add a little more honey if the fruit is very tart.
- Pour the prepared mixture over the apricots, making sure some of the sauce gets into the center of each half. Scatter the small pieces of butter on top.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the apricots soften, the edges wrinkle slightly, and the sauce starts to bubble gently.
- In a dry frying pan, toast the flaked almonds for 2–3 minutes over medium heat, stirring often, until they are lightly golden and smell nutty. Immediately transfer them to a plate so they don’t burn.
- Serve the apricots warm, drizzled with the sauce from the bottom of the dish and sprinkled with the toasted almonds. You can add a spoonful of plain yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each serving.
