Yum! I had a drink the other night at Vintage New York in Soho with some friends. Whenever we go, we have to get an order of their stuffed apricots with blue cheese and almonds, they are so dang good! Although, they’ve changed it up recently and started rolling the apricot in crushed almonds instead of using a whole almond stuffed inside…boo. There’s something so nice about the contrast of the soft apricot and bleu cheese and then, snap, you hit the crunchy almond.

I took it upon myself to recreate the older version of Vintage’s stuffed apricots. Here’s what I did.

Stuffed Apricots with Bleu Cheese and Almonds

1 container of dried apricots (approx 40)
1/4 lb blue cheese
almonds (as many as apricots)

1. Slice apricots almost in half, making sure to leave the two sides connected (like a book).
2. Take a small slice of the cheese and stuff inside apricot.
3. Stuff the almond in and pinch the apricot closed.
4. Try one and smile. So delicious.
