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

App, of course. The Ape folks are wrong. Just kidding.

App.

only 1 A in the word not 2 A's.

App is all wet

The only thing I know for sure was my Mam-maw made the best apricot fried pies.  She would make apple too since apricots were so expensive and would only allow each of her children and the grandchildren to have one apricot pie a piece.  Have as many apple pies as  we wanted since she had apple trees.

@beckyb1012  Hi I'm not so sure. I have heard "ape" in Texas but never in New England where I originate. It was always "app" but then again how often do we really hear the word.🤔

I also do not say "lobstah".🦞 I do have a thick "rrr" pronunciation.

I sound like a pirate.😂🏴‍☠️

I also love apricot pie and I make a great apricot braided bread at Christmas.

"To ape or app, that is the question." - Haplet or is it Hapelet.😄
