1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 cup chopped dried apricots

2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in apricots and 3 tablespoons almonds; make a well in center of mixture. Combine sugar and next 6 ingredients (sugar through egg) in a bowl; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon batter into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon almonds and 1 tablespoon sugar.
