Apricot Crisp Pie

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, cold and diced

All-purpose flour

1/4 cup

Brown sugar

1/2 cup, packed

Rolled oats

1 cup

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

Apricots

4 cups, pitted and sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Toss the mixture gently until the apricots are well-coated.
3. Transfer the apricot mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, and diced cold butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apricot mixture, ensuring all the fruit is covered.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apricots are bubbling around the edges.
7. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
