Should you peel apricots before baking? There's no need to peel apricots before baking - the skin will soften during the cooking process and will be perfectly edible. If you're looking for a time-saving shortcut, simply give them a quick wash before adding them to your recipe.
How long do apricots last in a fridge? The shelf life of fully ripe apricots is about four to five days in the refrigerator. Can I freeze apricot bread? Yes, it is a bread that freezes! Simply slice the bread, and wrap each portion with plastic wrap. Put the wrapped portions in zipped lock bags. It will freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost on your counter and then warm it up in your toaster oven or your oven (at 350F for about 10 minutes).
