Simply delicious! I substituted butter with applesauce and it came out great.

I tweaked the recipe a bit because I had only fresh apricots. I used 2 or 2-1/2 cups of fresh, chopped apricots, I used a 4 ounce cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of the margarine and I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla. Very, very moist and good! Thank you so much for the recipe! I tried the half regular flour and half wheat flour, but felt it made the bread too heavy, so prefer the regular flour.

This has a nice flavor overall. I went with other suggestions and added the extra 1 tbsp of butter and 3 tbsp of oj. This wasn't the best quick bread recipe I've ever tasted but we enjoyed it.

this bread is to die for!! everyone loves it and requests it often. i do not soak my apricots though. i think they get to mushy that way and i like biting into a chewy bit of apricot here and there.

Sooo good! This was the BEST quick bread I have ever made. The only changes I made was following some other reviewers' suggestions, I used white whole wheat flour for half the all-purpose and added a little more butter (applesauce) and oj than what was called for. This bread disappeared so quickly that I am planning on making it again next week! Thanks for such an awesome recipe!

This is one of the best quick breads out there. Sweet bread with lots of apricots and nuts. Tastes great!

This was very good, easy to make bread. I used fresh picked apricots, and that was delicious!

I made this once and tweaked it a little. Made it again w/more tweaks. Great!!! I added the 3 extra T of orange juice as suggested. Used half regular flour and half whole wheat. Did away with the oil and used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. All else remained the same. Yum!!
