Ingredients
- Fresh apricots
- 6 cups, pitted and sliced
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Turbinado sugar
- 2 tablespoons
- All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons, diced
- Egg
- 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- Pie crust
- 2 (9-inch) crusts)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until the apricots are evenly coated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the dish and trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Pour the apricot filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly across the surface. Dot the filling with diced unsalted butter.
- Roll out the second pie crust and carefully place it over the apricot filling. Trim and crimp the edges together to seal the pie.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish, and sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top for added sweetness and crunch.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour before slicing to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and savor the delightful burst of apricot flavors!
Tips
- For a more intense flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the apricot filling.
- If apricots are not in season, you can substitute with canned apricots, but be sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
