Fresh Apricot Pie

Apricot Pie

 

It’s apricot season! That means our love affair with with the fruit comes Stateside. Here’s a version with only the simplest ingredients, basically fresh apricots, sugar and a  homemade crust. Aren’t those recipes always the best?

We used the smaller Black Apricots which not only are beautiful, but have an intense flavor. To offset the slight tartness of the fruit, we dusted the pie with powdered sugar. A big scoop of Bluebell Homemade Vanilla would have been even better.
