Yes, the chopper can chop dried apricots. The 1200 watt motor power and the chopping function are designed for chopping solid ingredients. As dried apricots have a tough but not extremely hard consistency, it should be possible to process them. For optimum results, we recommend cutting the apricots into smaller pieces and processing them in portions. If you are unsure, test a small amount first. The exact suitability is not explicitly documented in the product data, but the functions given indicate this.
