In large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Heat sour cream, water and ¼ cup margarine until hot to touch; add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at low speed.

Punch dough down. Roll doug to a 16x9 inch rectangle.

Spread remaining 2 tablespoons butter on dough. In small bowl, combine apricots, pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Roll up from long side as for a jelly roll; seal seam. On grease cookie sheet, place roll seam side down. Seal ends together to form a ring. Cut slits ⅔ of the way through at 1 inch intervals.

Turn each section on its side; cover.
