- 3. Roughly chop the almonds to a chunky texture.
- 4. Scatter the chopped almonds and sesame seeds over the apricot halves.
- 5. Drizzle a small amount of honey over the arranged apricots.
- 6. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the tops.
- 7. If desired, repeat with any remaining apricots to finish the plate.
