Apricot-Praline Muffins

Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:35
Categories : Muffins

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup pecan halves -- chopped
1/2 cup margarine -- melted
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups biscuit mix
2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.

1. Fit the steel knife blade into the work bowl. Process the pecans until
chopped into 1/8-inch pieces. Distribute chopped pecans evenly in muffin cups.
Put 2 teaspoons melted margarine in each cup.
2. With the steel knife blade still attached, process apricots until
chopped into 1/4-inch pieces. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, biscuit mix and milk.
Process until batter is well mixed, 10-15 seconds, stopping machine once to
scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Pieces of apricots should still
be visible.
3. Drop by spoonfuls into muffin cups. Bake until a wooden pick inserted
in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Do not push pick all
the way to bottom. Remove from oven and invert muffin pan on a serving plate.
DO NOT remove pan; let stand 10 minutes so pecans and margarine will drop down
onto muffins.

Yield: 12 muffins.
