Tip, you too can use a few of the apricot preserves to the sides too to make them even shinier and brown too!

Step Seven

Bake at 425 for about 20-24 minutes. Rotate your sheet pan half means by baking.

Step Eight

Right here you’ll add your contemporary berries when you selected to do that my means! Then high with powdered sugar and garnish with a little bit of mint.
