Easy Apricot Pie

Cookinero 5 November 2022

This simple apricot pie is so easy to make you'll want to bake it right away. Why not, if, moreover, it can be done fairly quickly?! The main thing is to find really tasty apricots, moreover, ripe, but not very soft (these will “blur”, and the look of the dish will be completely different). And everything else is really a matter of technique: whipped, mixed, chopped, added, put in the oven. By the way, you can easily complement a simple apricot pie with cherries or blackcurrants: it will turn out very beautiful and unusually tasty!

Easy Apricot Pie - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use frozen apricots. Make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before arranging them on the pie dough to prevent a soggy crust.
Store leftover apricot pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
Yes, you can freeze the baked pie. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. You can also reheat slices individually in the oven or microwave.
Yes, you can omit the baking powder. The pie will still be delicious, but it might be slightly denser. You could also substitute with a mix of baking soda and an acid (like lemon juice), but the baking powder is not essential.
This apricot pie is delicious on its own, but it's also fantastic with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to choose a blend that is designed for baking and contains xanthan gum or another binder to help with the structure of the crust.
Yes, you can reduce the amount of sugar to your taste. Start by reducing it by 1/4 and see if it's sweet enough for you. Keep in mind that sugar also contributes to the texture and browning of the crust, so reducing it too much may affect the final result.
