Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

Pie Crust Dough for 9 inch pie plate (use your favorite dough recipe)
1 pound fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick-slices
1/2 pound fresh, ripe apricots, pitted and sliced into approximately 6 pieces
1 1/2 pound fresh bing cherries, pitted and sliced in half
2/3 cup evaporated cane juice sugar
1/8 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons small granulated tapioca
Juice of one orange (approx. 4 tablespoons)
Egg white, lightly beaten
Sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make your favorite pie dough and roll it out to fit a 9 inch pie dish with a round top and bottom. Place the bottom piece of dough into the pie dish and reserve the top until after pie is filled. Chill dough until ready to fill. Make an "x" in the bottom of each peach and submerge in boiling water for 1 minute to loosen skin. Let cool briefly and then peel skin off peaches. You may want to peel your apricots in the same way. In a large bowl, gently mix sliced peaches, apricots, cherries, cane sugar, brown sugar, tapioca and orange juice. Pour fruit mixture into the prepared pie dish. Make lattice top, cover fruit mixture and crimp to seal edges. Lightly beat egg white with a teaspoon of water. Brush lattice top with beaten egg whites. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until top is golden brown and contents are bubbling. Let cool and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, fragrant apricots: The quality of your apricots will greatly impact the flavor of your pie. Choose apricots that are plump, brightly colored, and have a sweet aroma.
  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apricots: To achieve a balanced flavor, combine both tart and sweet varieties of apricots. This will create a more complex and enjoyable taste.
  • Handle the apricots gently: Apricots are delicate fruits, so handle them with care to avoid bruising. Rinse them gently under cold water and pat them dry before using.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apricots: A sharp knife will help you create clean, even slices that will bake more evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pie plate: Make sure to leave some space between the apricot slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Brush the crust with milk or egg wash: This will help the crust to brown and give it a golden color.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: Keep an eye on the pie while it's baking so that you can remove it from the oven as soon as it's done.

Conclusion:

Apricot pie is a classic summer dessert that is both delicious and easy to make. With its sweet and tart filling, flaky crust, and golden brown topping, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy the taste of summer!
