Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar and cook until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Arrange 4 halved apricots cut-side down over the sugar mixture in the skillet.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add 2 tbsp softened butter, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup sugar; stir until just combined (batter will be lumpy).
Step 4
Pour batter over apricots and spread evenly. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool in skillet for 5 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Serve warm.
