1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat. Pour the apricot mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the apricot mixture.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional).
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar in the biscuit topping.
If using canned apricots, reduce the sugar in the filling by 2-3 tablespoons, as canned apricots are often sweeter.
You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apricot filling for extra warmth.
Leftover cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
