Apricot Pie Filling
Hot tip: Make this pie filling when apricots are in abundance during the summer months and freeze it for winter. You can then enjoy apricot pie in the cooler months without the expense of out of season fruits. As an alternative, you can also use tinned apricots. Use this as the filling with the Sweet Pie Pastry or Grain Free Sweet Pie Pastry as the base.
