Chop the dried apricots small. Put them in a small pot with 100 ml water, cook over low heat for 8 minutes to make a soft compote, then remove from the heat.
In a wide pot, bring the milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt close to boiling, then lower the heat before the milk overflows.
Add the semolina in a thin stream while whisking constantly, without stopping, to prevent lumps.
Cook over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from the heat, add the vanilla extract, and stir. Place the butter on top and let it melt.
Spoon into bowls, top with warm apricot compote and a pinch of cinnamon, and serve.
💡 Tip: Gently roasting semolina over low heat gives a nutty aroma without burning.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with yogurt or compote on the side.
