Preheat oven to 350
degrees.
To make filling, toss apricots with remaining ingredients. Pour
into a 9x13 inch pan or casserole. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes
while you prepare the topping.
For the topping, mix together flour, one-half-cup sugar,
baking powder, milk and soft butter. Mix together and stir
until lumps are gone. Spoon over the hot apricots, then
sprinkle with two tablespoons of sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted into the crust comes out clean. Serve warm with
ice cream of whipped cream. Can be garnished with chopped
nuts (pistachios are interesting).
