Apricot-Almond Coffee Ring Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup dried apricots, sliced
1 cup water
3 1/2 tsp Equal for Recipes
= (or 12 packets Equal sweetener
or 1/2 cup Equal Spoonful)
1/8 tsp ground mace
1 loaf frozen Italian bread dough - (16 oz), thawed
1/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds
Skim milk, for brushing
1 tsp Equal for Recipes
= (or 3 packets Equal sweetener
or 2 tbspns Equal Spoonful)

Recipe Instructions:

Heat apricots, water, 3 1/2 teaspoons Equal for Recipes or 12 packets Equal sweetener or 1/2 cup Equal Spoonful and mace to boiling in small saucepan; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until apricots are tender and water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Simmer, uncovered, until no water remains, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool.

Roll dough on floured surface into 14- by 8-inch rectangle. Spread apricot mixture on dough to within 1 inch of edges; sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds. Roll dough up jelly-roll style, beginning with long edge; pinch edge of dough to seal. Place dough seam-side down on greased cookie sheet, forming circle; pinch ends to seal.

Using scissors, cut dough from outside edge almost to center, making cuts 1 inch apart. Turn each section cut-side up so filling shows. Let rise, covered, in warm place until dough is double in size, about 1 hour.

Brush top of dough lightly with milk, sprinkle with remaining almonds and 1 teaspoon Equal for Recipes or 3 packets Equal sweetener or 2 tablespoons Equal Spoonful. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
