I freeze several bagfuls of apricots when they are in season, thinking of this pie all the while. At holiday time, there's nothing like a luscious taste of summer. The crunchy pecans in the topping make this dessert extra special.

Get these rotten ads off of the recipe that you print. Are you kidding me? No other site makes you print these ink sucking ads no one cares about. I will either print it out by hand or just switch to another site.

Due to comments about the pie being too tart, we have reviewed it and increased the sugar to 1 cup. The tartness of the pie could vary based on how ripe the apricots are. Also, the apricots do not need peeled before using them.

I made this pie today & found it a little tart. I only had 12 apricots, not enough for 4 cups so I used 5 fresh peaches & that brought it up to 4 cups. I only used the 3/4 cups sugar & probably should have used 1 full cup, or more & maybe it would have been a little sweeter. Also, did not have the quick cooking topioca so I used 3 tsps. cornstarch. My pie set up quite nicely, after putting it in the refrigerator when it was almost cool. The recipe did not say to leave the skins on the apricots & I took them off, but wondered if they also could have been left on, for more flavor? My pie also took much longer to bake than the 45 mins. in the recipe. Was a nice change of fruit pie, but the blueberry pie was gone in a flash, not like this one! I may try to make it again just to see what a apricot pie tastes like without the peaches, I had to use. Wish the recipe told the amount of peaches to purchase along with the total of cups needed, as I would have bought more, as I guessed wrong. Any way, it was different to make & looked nice, but not a lot of takers!
