I googled Apricot pronunciation and a audio comes up with the British and American pronunciation, both the same with a long A. Mine is probably more of a Texas/Southern thing with the "app."
Sounds like we have another food to add to the infamous "Toe May Toe Toe Mah Toe" & "Po Tay Toe Po Taw Toe" proverbial question. LOL
@SloopJohnB Not that it matters (lol) but I say Tuh may toe.

Interestingly, there are people who say tuh-may-tuh. (And puh-tay-tuh!!)

Probably ape, but can't remember the last time I said that word. Edited to say I just Googled it and they are both correct. Depends on where you live.

I say app and didn't know there was any other way to possibly say it.

I say app and when I saw the title of this thread I was like how on earth is there another way to pronounce it. I had to click on it to find out what it could be.
