We wash dried apricots well, pour boiling water and leave for 20-30 minutes to swell. Alternatively, the dried apricots can be boiled in a saucepan until soft and then cooled.

Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, add salt and mix well.

Put sugar and butter in the container where we will knead the muffin dough. Beat with a mixer.

Drive in eggs one at a time and beat until smooth.

When the dried apricots become soft enough, use a submersible blender to punch it together with the water in which it was steamed, to a puree state.

Add the resulting puree to the sugar-oil mixture and mix with a spatula.

Pour flour with baking powder in parts. Mix quickly but gently with a spatula or spoon. It turns out a tender, airy dough.

It is advisable to use silicone molds not small. The diameter of my molds is 6 cm, the height is 5 cm. We lay out the dough, filling the molds by 2/3 of the volume. If you are not sure about the quality of your molds, then grease them with a small amount vegetable oil... I didn't grease my molds.

Put a baking sheet with tins in an oven preheated to 180-190 degrees. Bake muffins on medium level for about 25-35 minutes (focus on your oven). Be sure to check for a dry skewer.

Cupcakes with dried apricots are ready. We take them out of the molds, cover with a towel and let cool. Sprinkle the cakes with powdered sugar and serve.
