• 8 ripe apricots (about 2 pounds), halved and pitted
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 2 pints good-quality vanilla ice cream
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds toasted (optional)

Prepare grill or heat a cast iron grill pan over high heat on a stove. In a medium bowl, toss together apricots, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Grill apricots, cut side down, until marked and beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Flip and cook about 30 more seconds on the skin side until marked.

Remove from grill. Serve 4 warm apricot halves per bowl with 1 cup ice cream; drizzle with honey and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
