MY HONEY'S APPLE AND APRICOT PIE

This recipe makes two wonderfully delicious pies which is great for OAMC. If you want less crumble topping, just double the pie ingredients, and you can make 4 lucious pies. You can freeze them just before baking to enjoy another time, (Just be sure to increase the cook time to 50-55 min for a frozen pie). The crumbled topping stores well in the freezer so you could even make one pie at a time if that is your choosing. We adapted this from Chef #422893's wonderful Recipe #255771 making it lighter (reducing down the calories, fat, and carbs) and revised it into a pie form. We have made this using Sunmaid dried fruit bits in place of the apricots (which requires no re-hydration). Enjoy. :)

Tips and Conclusion

Baking a delicious apple apricot pie is a delightful culinary experience that combines the sweetness of apricots with the tartness of apples. This article offers a collection of tried-and-tested recipes that cater to different preferences and skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting, these tips and tricks will guide you towards a perfect pie:

  • Choose the right apples: Opt for firm, tart varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn, as they hold their shape well during baking.
  • Prepare your apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly to ensure even cooking. You can toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Select ripe apricots: Fresh, ripe apricots lend a burst of flavor to the pie. If using dried apricots, soak them in hot water to rehydrate.
  • Make your own pie crust: If you have time, homemade pie crust offers a more authentic taste and texture. Experiment with different recipes to find your favorite.
  • Use a combination of spices: A blend of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger enhances the flavors of the apples and apricots.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave some room for the filling to expand during baking. Overfilling can lead to a soggy crust.
  • Brush the crust with egg wash: Before baking, brush the top crust with egg wash (whisked egg and water) to achieve a golden-brown finish.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Start with a high temperature to set the crust, then reduce it to allow the filling to cook thoroughly.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling to set and prevents it from spilling out.

Conclusion

With these tips in mind, you're well on your way to creating an exceptional apple apricot pie that will impress your family and friends. The combination of sweet and tart flavors, along with the flaky crust, makes this pie a classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a delightful baking journey. Happy baking!
