| this dessert spotlights seasonal apricots and cherries at the peak of |
| perfection. you can also make these treats with nectarines or peaches; |
| just be sure |
| to use small ones (about the size of apricots) so they won't crowd the |
| custard cups. |
| |

| 1 Tbsp | butter, cut into 4 equal pieces |
| 4 tsp | brown sugar |
| 2 | apricots, halved and pitted |

| cooking spray. place 1 butter piece in bottom of each cup. sprinkle 1 |
| teaspoon brown sugar over butter in each cup. arrange 1 apricot half, cut |
| side up, over brown sugar in each ramekin. arrange 8 cherry halves, cut |
