I had some dried apricots that I wanted to use, so I found this on the web. It is beyond delicious, and very easy! Slightly tangy and quite sweet! I think it would be fantastic a la mode with vanilla bean ice cream. :-)

Time 1h30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 6

18 ounces dried apricots
1 3/4 cups water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon orange liqueur
1 3/4 cups white sugar
1 pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Slice the dried apricots in half and rinse them with water.
  • Place them in a sauce pan with the water, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cornstarch with the orange liqueur and about 1 tablespoon of the apricots' cooking liquid.
  • Mix until smooth then stir into the cooked apricots.
  • Add the white sugar and combine.
  • Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell and seal with the top crust.
  • Brush milk over top crust for color, if desired.
  • Bake at 400°F for about 1 hour.
  • **PLEASE NOTE: If your dried apricots are sweet, you may want to cut the amount of sugar from the 1 3/4 cups called for in the recipe to about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of sugar (or to your taste) to prevent the pie from being overly sweet. The dried apricots I use are quite tart/sour, so the 1 3/4 cups of sugar does not produce an overly sweet pie.

Tips:

  • To make the pie crust, use a food processor to combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Then, add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing the food processor until the dough just comes together.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • To make the filling, combine the dried apricots, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the apricots are tender and the mixture has thickened.
  • Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into the pie crust.
  • To make the topping, combine the oats, flour, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Use your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the topping over the filling and bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Dried apricot pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and crispy oat topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this dried apricot pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
