I did not rate this recipe because I submitted it. This is a recipe I remember from childhood. We lost it for years! I went thru some old recipes and found it again!! I made them asap! I am still in love with them! They are like little cakes. Mild apricot flavor and totally yummy! If you really hate apricots, you can use pureed pears, peaches or applesauce. You can substitute chopped nuts for butterscotch chips. Enjoy!
