Apricot Upside Down Cake

This is another recipe using Apricots that was SO YUMMY...once again, I don't even like Apricots but this recipe is very good!

6 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 lb. apricots (about 7 medium apricots), pitted, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 Tbsp. Sliced Almonds (optional...I made one with and one without and they were both good)

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Place baking mix, granulated sugar, sour cream, egg, water and extract in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, stopping frequently to scrape bottom and side of bowl. Beat on medium speed 2 min.; set aside.
