Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Pie Crust Dough for 9 inch pie plate (use your favorite dough recipe)
1 pound fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick-slices
1/2 pound fresh, ripe apricots, pitted and sliced into approximately 6 pieces
1 1/2 pound fresh bing cherries, pitted and sliced in half
2/3 cup evaporated cane juice sugar
1/8 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons small granulated tapioca
Juice of one orange (approx. 4 tablespoons)
Egg white, lightly beaten
Sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

Make your favorite pie dough and roll it out to fit a 9 inch pie dish with a round top and bottom. Place the bottom piece of dough into the pie dish and reserve the top until after pie is filled. Chill dough until ready to fill. Make an "x" in the bottom of each peach and submerge in boiling water for 1 minute to loosen skin. Let cool briefly and then peel skin off peaches. You may want to peel your apricots in the same way. In a large bowl, gently mix sliced peaches, apricots, cherries, cane sugar, brown sugar, tapioca and orange juice. Pour fruit mixture into the prepared pie dish. Make lattice top, cover fruit mixture and crimp to seal edges. Lightly beat egg white with a teaspoon of water. Brush lattice top with beaten egg whites. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until top is golden brown and contents are bubbling. Let cool and enjoy.

Tips:

Select ripe, fragrant apricots: The quality of your apricots will greatly impact the flavor of your pie. Choose apricots that are plump, brightly colored, and have a sweet aroma.
Handle the apricots gently: Apricots are delicate fruits, so handle them with care to avoid bruising. Use a sharp knife to cut them into wedges or slices.
Use a combination of sugars: A combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar provides the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor in the pie filling.
Add a touch of spice: A pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg enhances the flavor of the apricots and adds warmth to the pie.
Don't overcook the filling: The apricots should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will result in a mushy filling.
Chill the pie before serving: Chilling the pie allows the filling to set and the flavors to meld together. This will result in a more delicious and satisfying pie.
