My Honey's Apple and Apricot Pie

Filled with the warm, comforting flavors of fall, *My Honey's Apple and Apricot Pie* is a delightful twist on the classic apple pie. This homemade dessert combines tender, tart apples and sweet, chewy dried apricots enveloped in a luscious blend of honey, brown sugar, and fragrant spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A flaky, buttery double crust made from scratch gives the pie its golden, crispy finish, perfectly brushed with an egg wash for shine. The natural sweetness of the honey balances beautifully with the tangy fruit, while the addition of apricots adds a delightful pop of texture and color. Serve this pie warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a show-stopping dessert that's perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any special occasion.

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup Dried apricots
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough begins to come together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Chop the dried apricots into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the apples.

Step 6

Mix honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the apples and apricots and toss until evenly coated.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough disks into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, allowing the excess to hang over the edges.

Step 8

Add the apple and apricot filling into the crust, mounding it slightly in the center.

Step 9

Roll out the second disk of dough to a 12-inch circle. Place it over the top of the filled pie. Trim the excess overhang to about 1 inch past the edge of the pie pan.

Step 10

Fold the top crust edge under the bottom crust edge and crimp to seal. Cut 4-5 small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 12

Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
