Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 10-inch round quiche dish or pie plate.
  2. Cut fresh apricots in half, remove pits, and arrange them in a circular pattern in the prepared dish.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of rye whiskey, and 3 large eggs until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter over the arranged apricots, aiming to cover the fruit evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until puffed and lightly golden; it should jiggle slightly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving, dusting with powdered sugar.
