Have you ever eaten a slice of moist and delicious Apricot Bread with Pecans that is just loaded with the fruit? This recipe delivers that! We have been trying to snack healthier and add more dried fruits and nuts to our diet. Recently we tried these dried apricots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dried<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The apricots are plump and, unlike some we have tried in the past, they don’t taste like dried up coconut husks! Kidding aside, these are delicious, soft and sweet. Anyway, we love to shop at Costco and they usually offer supersize packages. My hubby bought this for me and I love eating them straight out of the bag. However, my kids and hubby, not so much. I thought there must be a way to encourage them to eat this too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I saw this Apricot Bread recipe shared online by my favorite chef, Sara Moulton<\/strong>*, on Facebook yesterday, I decided to give it a try. Of course, me being me, I had to tinker a bit and add a few of my own touches. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and wanted to share with you. Let’s bake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
