Day 195

My First Apricot Pie

I had bought a container of apricots for $0.98 the other day and thought of making a pie.  Below is the recipe.  I followed these directions with the use of a Trader Joe's pie crust from the frozen section.  It was incredible...honestly, my favorite pie I have ever tasted!

Ingredients:
4 cups sliced fresh arpicots
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
Milk
Additional Sugar

Directions:  In a bowl, toss apricots, sugar, flour, and nutmeg.  Sprinkle with lemon juice and mix well.  Line a pie plate with the bottom crust;  add filling.  Roll out remaining pastry to make the top.  Place the top crust and seal.  Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.  Cover edges of pastry loosely with foil.  Bake at 375 degrees F for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown.
