Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the apricots, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until the apricots are coated evenly.
- Place one pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edge.
- Pour the apricot filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Dot the top of the filling with the pieces of butter.
- Cover the pie with the second pie crust. Seal the edges by pressing the top and bottom crusts together with your fingers. You can also crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Make several slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and prevent your oven from getting messy. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- 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.
- Serve the apricot pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
