Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

6 fresh apricots, halved and pitted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup Quick Dulce de Leche

1/4 cup Grand Marnier or fresh orange juice

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon.

In another bowl, toss the apricots, vanilla, and Grand Marnier. Add the sugar mixture and toss.

In a 9 X 11-inch roasting pan, place the apricots skin side down. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice, until the apricots are fork-tender. Meanwhile, make the Dulce de Leche.

Arrange 3 apricot halves, along with the pan juices, on each of 4 dessert plates. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of Dulce de Leche over each. The apricots can be served warm or at room temperature.
