Instructions
Fruit Filling:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have ready 6 one cup capacity ramekins on a rimmed baking tray.
Wash and dry the apricots, Slice in half, remove pits. Cut into thick slices, then cut those in half. Add to a large bowl. Pit the cherries; cut each in half, add to bowl.
Add remaining filling ingredients and give a big stir to evenly distribute.Fill the ramekins evenly with the filling. Bake in the oven 20 - 25 minutes until the fruit has softened and bubbly (will cook some more so do not overcook.)
Cinnamon Biscuit Topping:
While the filling cooks, make the biscuits.Add flour to a large bowl. Add all ingredients except the buttermilk and sanding sugar. Give a stir to blend - then cut the butter in with a pastry blender until the butter is the size of large peas.Add the buttermilk and mix gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Gather the dough quickly with your hands to bring together - place on a lightly floured cutting board. With a rolling pin, gently roll until 3/4" thick. Cut out biscuits with a round 1" biscuit (or cookie cutter) - Make 18; 3 per ramekin. Place cut biscuits in the refrigerator for 5 minutes as the filling cooks. Will have some extra dough leftover for 2 large biscuits .
Add biscuits on top of the warm fruit ramekins - three per ramekin. Quickly brush with buttermilk and top each with some coarse sugar.Pop back in the oven until the biscuits are golden brown, cooked through and the filling is bubbling - about 15 - 18 minutes.Serve warm and enjoy! (Easily reheated too.)
