Ingredients
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
0.75 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dried apricots, chopped
0.75 cup toasted walnuts, chopped

For the Glaze: 0.5 cup brown sugar, 0.25 cup butter, 0.25 cup apricot nectar or water
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan for the golden sticky apricot pudding with crunchy walnuts.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in the chopped dried apricots and half of the crunchy walnuts into the golden sticky apricot pudding with crunchy walnuts batter.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top.
Step 7: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: While the pudding bakes, combine glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for 3 minutes.
Step 9: Pour the hot glaze over the warm golden sticky apricot pudding with crunchy walnuts and let it soak in for 15 minutes before serving.
