Divide in half; roll each to a 14 x 9 inch rectangle.

Brush with melted margarine; sprinkle with remaining brown sugar, apricots and almonds. Roll each up from long side; seal seams. Cute each roll into 7 slices. Make 2 cuts in side of each slice, ⅔ the way through. Fan sections; set on greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise until doubled. Bake at 375F 15 to 20 minutes.
