Place about 1 tablespoon of the cookie mixture into the cavity of each apricot half. Bake until the apricots are tender, 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the ripeness and size of apricots. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
Cook's Notes
Amaretti cookies vary in size; what's important for this recipe is that the crushed cookies yield one cup.
