  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners. Place apricots into a small bowl and pour 1 cup boiling water over top. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, buttermilk, and egg. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just blended; it's okay for the batter to have some lumps. Drain and discard water from apricots. Mix apricots into batter, then spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.
