This pie is pretty as a picture and absolutely apricot in flavor. The fruit's golden-orange color beautifully shows through the lattice top.—Elegant Apricot Specialty Foods, Jo and Joe Martin, Patterson, California

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (6 ounces each) dried apricots
  • 2-3/4 cups water
  • Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

  1. In a small saucepan, combine apricots and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-22 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool.
  2. Place bottom pastry in a 9-in. pie plate. Drain apricots, reserving 3/4 cup liquid. Arrange apricots in pie shell. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and reserved apricot liquid.
