To sprout an apricot seed, first remove any flesh from the seed and wash it clean. Then, dampen a paper towel and wrap the seed in it. Place the wrapped seed in a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator for 8-12 weeks. Once the chilling period is over, plant the seed in potting soil, water it regularly, and place it in a sunny spot to germinate.
I have had luck placing the acorns (making sure they don't have any holes from insects) in a ziploc bag, layered with damp paper towels, in the fridge. This mimics their natural sprouting environment (cool, dark and damp).
