Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Apricots

    In a medium bowl, combine the dried apricots and water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to soften.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filling

    After soaking, drain the apricots and place them in a saucepan. Add sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apricots are soft and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

Crust Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, sugar, and salt until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 6

    Roll out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.

  3. 7

    Add the Filling

    Place the rolled-out dough into the pie dish. Pour the apricot filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

  4. 8

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

  5. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
