Old Fashioned Apricot Raisin Pie image

This is out of an old recipe book created by my great great grandmother's church. The recipe was credited to Bama Curtis. I remember her....she was blind when I knew her and an avid baseball fan. Listened to all the games on a little transistor radio. She passed away at 99.

This pie was a hit! The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart. I used fresh apricots and raisins, and I think that made a big difference in the flavor. I will definitely be making this pie again.
