My sister-in-law wanted to create an apricot pie recipe, so we experimented until we came up a combination of ingredients we liked. The meringue sits nice and high, while the sweet apricots retain a little of their chewy texture. It's yummy! -Olive Rumage, Jacksboro, Texas

Apricot Meringue Pie Recipe
  • Prep: 35 min. + chilling Bake: 25 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 6-8 Servings
35 25 60

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces dried apricots, chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 2-1/2 cups sugar, divided
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked

Directions

  • In a saucepan, bring apricots and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until apricots are softened.
  • In a bowl, combine 2 cups sugar, cornstarch and salt; stir into apricot mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir a small amount of hot filling into yolks. Return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 1 minute longer or until glossy and clear. Remove from the heat; stir in butter. Keep warm.
  • In a bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Pour hot filling into crust. Spread meringue evenly over filling, sealing edges to crust.
  • Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6-8 servings.
