Indulge in a symphony of flavors with our delectable Apricot Sour Cream Pie. This classic dessert combines the sweet tang of apricots, the creamy richness of sour cream, and a flaky, buttery crust. Our recipe features three variations to satisfy every palate: a traditional version, a gluten-free alternative, and a vegan option. Each variation offers a unique twist on this timeless treat, ensuring an unforgettable experience for bakers and dessert enthusiasts alike.

The traditional Apricot Sour Cream Pie showcases the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Fresh apricots, sugar, and a touch of cinnamon create a vibrant filling that is both luscious and refreshing. A dollop of sour cream adds a velvety texture and a hint of tang, complementing the apricots beautifully.

For those with dietary restrictions, our gluten-free Apricot Sour Cream Pie offers a delightful alternative. We've replaced the traditional wheat flour with a blend of gluten-free flours, ensuring a crispy, flavorful crust that doesn't compromise on taste. The filling remains the same delightful combination of apricots, sugar, cinnamon, and sour cream, resulting in a pie that is equally delicious and inclusive.

Finally, our vegan Apricot Sour Cream Pie caters to those seeking a plant-based dessert. We've replaced the sour cream with a creamy cashew-based mixture, creating a luscious filling that is both rich and dairy-free. The apricots, sugar, and cinnamon still shine through, delivering a burst of flavor in every bite.

No matter which variation you choose, our Apricot Sour Cream Pie is sure to impress. Its combination of sweet, tart, and creamy flavors, paired with a flaky, buttery crust, makes it a perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, our detailed instructions and helpful tips will guide you through the process, ensuring a successful and delectable outcome.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1 large egg, beaten to blend (for glaze)
Additional golden brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make well in center of mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla to well. Using fork, stir sour cream mixture into dry mixture until dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Sprinkle apricots over. Knead dough until apricots are incorporated, about 10 turns. Flatten dough into 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges.
  • Transfer wedges to baking sheet. Brush with egg. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh apricots: The quality of your apricots will greatly affect the flavor of your pie. Look for apricots that are plump, have a deep orange color, and are free of blemishes.
  • Use a food processor to make the apricot filling: This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the filling is smooth and consistent.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: The filling will expand as it bakes, so it's important to leave some room at the top of the crust.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will usually take about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Apricot Sour Cream Pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apricots, tangy sour cream, and flaky crust is simply irresistible. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this pie at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
