The pie filling serves as a base, rather than using a cream base. I have had a lot of people ask me for this recipe. Ingredient amounts are approximate, because with my grandmother, everything is "to taste".

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Freeze/Chill

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients
3 pounds firm-ripe apricots, peaches, or plums
About 1/2 cup sugar
About 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or mace
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preparation 1. Cut each of the apricots lengthwise into quarters (sixths if they're very large), discarding pits. (If using peaches, peel them and cut into thin wedges. If using plums, cut fruit into 1/2-inch slices.) You should have about 8 cups fruit total. 2. In a large bowl, gently mix fruit, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour (see notes), lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Taste fruit and add more sugar if desired (up to 3/4 cup total). 3. Line a 9-inch pie pan with a 20-inch-long sheet of foil (there should be about 5 inches of overhang on each side of the pan). Line the foil with a 20-inch-long piece of plastic wrap. Pour fruit into plastic wrap; pull edges together and fold over to seal, then repeat to seal foil over plastic. Freeze up to 3 months, removing from pie pan, if desired, after filling is hard, in about 8 hours. From freezer to oven To bake the pie, unwrap frozen filling and place in a 9-inch pie pan lined with an unbaked crust; cover with top crust, crimp edges to seal, and cut small slits in top to vent. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake pie in a 375° regular or convection oven until crust is browned and filling is bubbling in the center, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. (If crust gets too brown before filling is bubbling, cover edges loosely with foil.) If baking a fresh pie, after mixing filling in step 2, pour directly into unbaked pastry, cover, crimp, and slit. Bake for about 1 hour. Nutrition analysis per serving of double-crust apricot pie.

1 single baked pie crust
whipped topping or canned whip cream

Steps:

The amount of fruit you will need is enough for one pie and depending on the size of fruit that's the amount of fruit you will use 2 to 4 cups of fruit. Fruit must be WASHED,TRIMMED,SLICED, DRIED, and SET ASIDE, ready to be place in pie. It's very important to dry and drain your fruit. This helps you to keep your pie from getting soggy from excess juice and water.
  • 2. Combine sugar or Splendorous, corn starch, salt & water into 2 quart pot and heat medium to boil until thick and stirring frequently so there are no lumps.DO NOT BURN! Reduce heat and simmer about 10. Then add JELLO and food color stirring till JELLO is dissolved and color is even.
  • 3. Pour small amount of hot liquid filling to coat and cover the bottom of pie(this helps your pie from getting soggy too)and begin to arrange your first layer of fruit on top of filling then pour more filling again this time to coat and cover your fruit completely, repeat this process until you have filled your pie finishing with filling mixture to completely cover and coat your pie.
  • 4. Let the filled pie set and chill for at least an hour or more. Serve with your favorite whipped topping! GOD bless you and your family where love is served.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use cold butter and keep the dough cold until it's ready to bake.
  • If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a store-bought one or even a graham cracker crust.
  • To prevent the pie from getting soggy, pre-bake the crust before adding the filling.
  • Use fresh fruit whenever possible. If you're using frozen fruit, make sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Add a little cornstarch or flour to the filling to help it thicken.
  • Brush the crust with milk or egg wash before baking to give it a golden brown color.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set.
