APRICOT CRANBERRY CRUMB PIE
Fall is coming soon and this is one of my favorite pies to make in the Fall. Tart dried apricots and dried cranberries are a perfect pair in this fruity pie.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, over medium high heat, combine the apricots, sugar and 2 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring frequently, until apricots are tender (yet chewy) and are just starting to fall apart. Combine the cornstarch and remaining 3 tablespoons of water and stir into apricot mixture. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until thickened. At this point, add more water, if needed, to reach desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries and extract. Cool.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar and margarine with a pastry blender until pea-size crumbs form. Set aside.
- 3. When filling is cooled, transfer to pie shell and sprinkle crumbs evenly over top. Garnish with cinnamon if desired. Cover exposed pie crust with foil to prevent burning.
- 4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until filling is hot and bubbly and crumbs just start to brown.

[email protected]This pie is the perfect way to use up leftover fruit. I had a bunch of apricots and cranberries that were about to go bad, and this pie was the perfect way to use them up.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie filling turned out runny. I think I might have added too much liquid.

[email protected]I made this pie in a 9-inch pie plate instead of an 8-inch pie plate. It worked out fine, but the pie was a little thinner than I would have liked.

[email protected]I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in the crumb topping with chopped pecans. It turned out great!

[email protected]I love that this recipe uses fresh fruit. It makes the pie taste so much better than when you use frozen or canned fruit.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the crust to brown properly. I think I might have needed to bake it for a little longer.

[email protected]This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a different type of fruit, maybe peaches or apples.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of fruit pies, but this one is an exception. The combination of apricots and cranberries is really unique and delicious. The crumb topping is also perfect - it's crunchy and buttery without being too heavy.

[email protected]This is my new favorite pie! The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is perfectly tart and sweet. I love that I can use fresh or frozen fruit, so I can make it year-round. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[email protected]I made this pie for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it, and I even got requests for the recipe. The only thing I would change next time is to use a bit less sugar, as it was a little too sweet for my taste.
