APRICOT PIE image

This pie reminds me of childhood. We had an apricot tree in the backyard and, while it was messy with the dropped fruit all over the ground at times, the fresh apricots were delicious. This recipe calls for dried apricots, but you could also use fresh or canned. Photo: Mrfood.com
