Add carrots, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 8 minutes. Stir in apricots, cover, and cook until carrots are tender, 6 to 10 more minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cornstarch mixture. Return to heat and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. (Carrots may be cooled and refrigerated overnight. Reheat in microwave or on top of stove.)
