Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using walnuts or pecans instead of mixed nuts. You can also substitute the apricot preserves with peach or raspberry for a different twist. If you prefer a less sweet cake, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup. Make sure the biscuit balls are well-coated in butter for better browning and texture. For a festive touch, serve alongside Cheesy Cherry Salad.
