Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apricots

    Wash, pit, and chop the apricots into small pieces. You should have about 4 cups of chopped apricots.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped apricots, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the apricots are well coated. Set aside to let the mixture rest while you prepare the crust.

Crust Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

  2. 4

    Cut in the Butter

    Add the unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 5

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.

  4. 6

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough in the dish and trim the edges.

  3. 9

    Add the Filling

    Pour the apricot filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 10

    Make the Topping

    In a medium bowl, mix together rolled oats, brown sugar, unsalted butter (melted), all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon until crumbly.

  5. 11

    Top the Filling

    Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apricot filling.

  6. 12

    Bake the Dessert

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

  7. 13

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the apricot dessert to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
