Quick Tip

The apricots can be assembled and frozen, unbaked, up to 1 month in advance. Freeze them on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a resealable plastic bag. To cook, bake from frozen at 375º F for 8 to 10 minutes per side; keep warm at 250º F. Brush with the maple syrup before serving.
