This recipe was easy to make- I have to add that when it mentions to cream the butter, sugar, eggs and water together- make SURE that you cream the butter and sugar first until butter is combined and mixture is fluffy- then add the eggs and water. Otherwise, the butter will not mix properly. This smelled delicious baking! It doesn't take quite an hour to back- start at 45 minutes and then check every few minutes until done. The crust was a bit crispier than I would have expected, and it was not as moist as I had hoped. I think there is to much orange juice in the recipe, as it over-powered the apricots, rather than enhanced. As a previous reviewer suggested, maybe adding some apricot juice in place of the orange juice would be best.

Super! Softened the apricots in warm brandy and toasted the pecans before adding to the batter. Bread was delicious!
