Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Streusel Topping:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup hazelnuts (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Filling:
1 1/2 pounds ripe apricots, halved, pitted, each half cut into 4 wedges
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2-pint basket raspberries
Flaky Pie Crust disk

Steps:

  • For streusel topping:
  • Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Combine first 5 ingredients in processor. Blend using on/off turns until nuts are coarsely chopped. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture begins to clump together. Transfer streusel to bowl and refrigerate.
  • For filling:
  • Combine apricots, sugar, flour and allspice in large bowl; toss to blend. Let stand until dry ingredients are moistened, about 15 minutes. Carefully fold in raspberries.
  • Roll out pie-crust disk on lightly floured surface to 12 1/2-inch round. Transfer crust to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim dough overhang to 3/4 inch. Fold overhang under; crimp edges decoratively. Spoon filling into crust.
  • Place pie on baking sheet. Bake until filling begins to bubble at edges, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over pie. Cover crust edges with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake until crust and topping are golden brown and filling is bubbling thickly in center, about 50 minutes longer. Cool pie on rack at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the dough quickly. Avoid overworking the dough to prevent a tough crust.
  • For a golden crust, brush the top with milk or an egg wash before baking.
  • To prevent a soggy bottom crust, pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before filling.
  • When filling the pie, leave about ½ inch of space around the edges to allow for expansion during baking.
  • To prevent the filling from bubbling over, cover the edges of the crust with foil before baking.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting and serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

Apricot raspberry pie is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced baker, this recipe is easy to follow and will help you create a delicious pie that you'll love.
