Not much to the recipe, I fill the pie shell with fresh cut up apricots, sprinkle about 1 1/2 cups of sugar on it (I like them a bit tart, but more if you like it sweeter) 4 Tablespoons of Corn Starch and a few dots of "real" butter, then add the top crust. You can sprinkle some sugar on it if you wish. I like to do that. I bake it about 50 minutes, or until the crust is nice and brown, and the juices are bubbling inside the pie. Be ready to have this pie run over a bit. Whistling

My grandma's pie made with dried apricots is simple too. You need a pre-baked pie shell. Cook enough dried apricots with just enough water to keep it moist but not runny. You will need to watch it cooking, and maybe add small amounts of water if it gets too dry. When nice and tender, add sugar to taste, an 1/8 teaspoon of real Almond extract. Mix that together a bit and spread it into the baked pie shell. Serve with whipped cream.

Have fun!
