Ingredients

Scale

For the Pie Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

For the Apricot Filling:

  • 6 cups fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For the Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pie Crust:
    • In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
    • Cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Gradually add ice water, stirring until the dough comes together.
    • Divide dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the Apricot Filling:
    • In a large bowl, combine apricots, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
    • Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Assemble the Pie:
    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Roll out one disk of dough and fit into a 9-inch pie plate.
    • Pour apricot filling into the crust.
    • Roll out the second disk of dough and place over the filling.
    • Trim and crimp the edges, then cut slits in the top crust for ventilation.
    • Brush the top crust with the egg wash.
  • Bake:
    • Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
    • Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter for the crust is very cold to achieve a flaky texture.
  • Adjust sugar in the filling based on the sweetness of the apricots.
