Ingredients

• 900 grams Fresh apricots
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Light brown sugar
• 30 grams All-purpose flour
• 15 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 15 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 pieces Homemade or store-bought pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash the fresh apricots, cut them in half, remove the pits, and slice them into wedges. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Add the sliced apricots to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 5

Add vanilla extract to the mixture and stir gently. Let this sit for about 10 minutes to allow the apricots to release some of their juices.

Step 6

Roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, letting the edges hang over slightly.

Step 7

Pour the apricot mixture into the crust-lined pie dish. Dot the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.

Step 8

Roll out the second pie crust. You can place it whole over the filling or cut it into strips to create a lattice. Seal and crimp the edges of the crust to your liking.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush this over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits in the top crust if using a whole piece, to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 13

Serve slices of pie warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
