Albicocche Al Forno (Baked Apricots With Amaretti)

• 6 -8 apricots (but have some extra ones ready)
• 80 g amaretti cookies (2 7/8 ounces)
• 80 g sugar (2 7/8 ounces)
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 cup Amaretto
• 1/3 cup white wine
• butter, for greasing
• garnish
• 12 blanched almonds

1. Please note: I will have to check the amount of filling and the amount of apricots again, which I will do soon. If you decide to make it, please have some extra apricots ready.
2. Preheat oven to 180u0b0C (355u0b0F).
3. Put amaretti cookies into a small bowl and pour the amaretto over it.
4. Wash apricots and cut them in halves. Discard the stone.
5. Using a spoon, take out some of the fruit flesh without hurting the skin. Roughly chop the fruit flesh.
6. Add sugar, egg yolk and chopped apricot flesh to the amaretti cookies and mix. While mixing, crush the cookies with a spoon. Do not mix for too long; it's nice to have some cookie chunks.
7. Fill the apricots with the mixture, ca 1 tablespoon per half.
8. Put into a well buttered oven-proof baking dish.
9. Pour white wine over apricots.
10. Bake for ca 25 minutes or until done.
