Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup dry milk powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pitted and diced fresh apricots
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
2 Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
3 Beat 6 tablespoons sugar, egg, and butter together in a separate bowl until smooth; stir in water, milk powder, and vanilla extract until well blended. Beat egg mixture into flour mixture until smooth.
