Trying to duplicate Apricot Kuchen that my Grandmother used to make. She called it Coffee Cake or Kuchen, an old German recipe. In fact Kuchen is the German word for cake. I tried using fresh, dried, and canned apricots. I think the fresh ones were the best. Apricots, apples peaches, or strawberries can all be used. I made a couple with mangos and they were great! Recipe ingredients are below.

1/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
