Apricot Oatmeal Cobbler Recipe

We LOVE apricots in our house! When my husband gets a chance, he goes to a Middle Eastern grocery store near us and picks up these apricot sheets…I’m sure they have an official name, but that’s what I call them. They are like a ginormous apricot fruit roll-up. So good! Not too long ago, I noticed the grocery store was stocking apricots in their produce department. I picked up a few for the kids and they devoured them!

After a very sleepless night, thanks to Mother Nature, I decided to bake something. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make, but I had a jar of apricot preserves on my pantry shelf and I knew I wanted to use that. After going through my recipe cards, I decided to make an Apricot Oatmeal Cobbler!
