Simple Stuffed Apricots

(Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free)

INGREDIENTS:
§  42 dried apricots
§  1 block cream cheese, softened
§  42 whole, toasted pecans, or other nut if preferred

PREPARATION:
1.       Find the opening in the apricot where the pit was removed and peel it open so that it is half-way open like a clamshell OR if it is easier, slice it half-way open with a paring knife.
2.      Spread about a tsp of cream cheese inside each of the apricots and then put a pecan in each.
3.      Refrigerate the pecans until time to serve.


These little guys are so quick and easy, but they hit
that spot inbetween a sweet snack and a light dessert
just about perfectly!

You can also pipe the cream cheese in if you want
to dress these up a little, but then...they would lose
some of their adorable simplicity...your choice :p
