Apricot Peach Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Cut apricots into quarters. Cover with water and let soak overnight, refrigerated or put into saucepan, cover with water and simmer until tender. Chop the peaches into bite-size pieces. Drain most of the water from apricots and put in a saucepan. Add the peaches, sugar, and spices and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer until thickened. Add a little flour if needed for thickening. Line the bottom and sides of a Dutch oven with pie dough. Roll out the top crust and cut into strips. Pour the hot filling into the Dutch oven, over the crust. Lay strips of crust across the top. Brush the top with beaten egg or cream if you have it, and sprinkle with sugar. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and set to bake over medium coals top and bottom. Turn the Dutch oven and lid every 10 minutes or so, or it will scorch. Add more coals if needed until pie is light brown. Remove from coals and let cool until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Place flour, sugar, salt, vinegar, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor and pulse lightly 1 time. While pulsing, add butter gradually; dough should be the consistency of cornmeal. Do not over-mix or dough will become tough and hard to roll out. While pulsing, add ice water slowly until dough forms a ball (again being careful to not over-mix). Turn off processor as soon as dough forms a ball and refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes.
• Make filling:
• Combine apricots, jam, nectar, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry and continue simmering for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add almond and vanilla extracts. Let cool to room temperature; mixture should thicken to the consistency of a jam.
• Meanwhile, pour several inches of oil into a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven; oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat oil to 360 degrees F.
• On a floured board, roll out dough to 1/8-inch or less thickness. Cut or stamp dough into 15 (6-inch) round circles, or as many that size as possible. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each circle of dough and brush edges with egg wash. Fold in half and press edges together with a fork dipped in flour. Poke the top of the crust twice with fork.
• Carefully add pie pockets, in batches, to the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown, turning as needed. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve; be careful as filling is hot.

Steps:

• Cover apricots with boiling water in a small saucepan and let stand 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prick pastry shell all over with a fork.
• Line with parchment or foil and fill with pie weights or dry rice.
• Bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 8 minutes.
• Remove liner and weights; bake 7 minutes longer or until bottom is dry and firm.
• Let cool on a rack while you prepare the filling.
• Drain apricots well and discard liquid.
• Pour liquid from peaches over apricots; set aside.
• Add lemon juice and peel to apricots and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the apricots are very tender and the liquid is reduced by about one-third, about 20 minutes.
• Stir together sugar and cornstarch.
• Blend into the apricots and cook, stirring gently over medium heat until liquid is thickened and translucent.
• Gently stir in peaches.
• Cool 5 minutes, then spoon into baked pie shell.
• To make streusel topping, stir together the almonds, sugar and flour.
• Blend in the butter with a fork until the mixture is crumbly.
• Sprinkle streusel topping over peach-apricot mixture.
• Bake in preheated 425 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disk of dough into a large round, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds. Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet; refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Repeat process with the remaining dough, using a 4-inch cookie cutter to make 12 more rounds; do not refrigerate. Remove chilled disks from refrigerator.
• Using paper towels, blot the poached apricots halves to eliminate excess liquid; place one in center of each chilled round. Brush cold water around edges of dough; cover each with an unchilled round. Gently press edges together to seal. Refrigerate about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove tarts from refrigerator. Using a paring knife, slash the top of each tart in a crosshatch fashion. Brush with water, and generously sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees. Continue baking until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer pies to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Or let cool completely, and store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch pie plate. Stir together all ingredients except preserves and whipped cream until blended. Pour into pie plate.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Heat preserves over low heat until melted; spread over pie. Cool. Garnish with whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

Steps:

• Line a 9 inch glass pie dish with one floured crust. I use a commercial, refrigerated, boxed crust that I have brought to room temperature before unrolling and flouring it. Home-made crusts might work even better. Set the 2nd crust aside to top the pie before baking.
• In a large bowl, mix the sugar and flour; then add the pealed, sliced peaches and apricots,and lemon juice. Mix well; then pour onto the 1st pie crust.
• Dice butter into small cubes and arrange atop the filling.
• Place 2nd crust on top of the filling. Crimp the edges of the crust together; then, use a knife to cost 4-5 one inch long air holes to prevent filling from over flowing as it bakes.
• Place the pie onto a pizza pan to catch drips. Bake pie at 350 degrees for 1 hour or slightly longer if you desire a darker crust. Serve warm or cold with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream as you prefer. It is even great plain! Enjoy!

Working on a floured work surface, roll each ball out into a crust big enough for a 9-inch pie dish with an inch or so to spare. Carefully lift a crust, fold into quarters, position into pie dish, and unfold the crust. Set the other crust aside.
• Mix the sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; stir in the lemon juice and apricots. Spoon the apricot filling over the pie crust in the dish, and top with the reserved crust. Crimp the edges of the crusts together with a fork, cut away the excess crust, and cut slits into the pie to allow steam to escape. Cover the edges of the pie crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
