I was a bit disappointed. I may have put in too much lemon juice, but my cobbler came out sour, even though the fruit was sweet. I will try again with less lemon juice and more sugar. The crumble topping was good, though I substituted it with sliced almonds instead of pecans, since that's what I have on hand.

A crunchy topping sets off apricots which are so flavorful you do not have to add much to them. If using supermarket apricots, cut each into quarters, increase lemon juice to 2 tbsp. and granulated sugar to 1/2 cup, and mix a pinch each of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg into the fruit before baking.
