Fold in apricots. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bak 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool. Wrap loaf and store overnight before slicing. POWDERED SUGAR ICING: In small bowl combine 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar and 2 tsp apple juice to make drizzling consistency.
