Apricot Pie with Custard Cream
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. The pie is easy to make. You won't have to knead the dough or roll it out. Any apricots will do, whether fresh or frozen. After baking, let the pie cool well; you can even refrigerate it. Otherwise it will simply fall apart, because the dough is very delicate, and the cream and apricots soak it with liquid. Nevertheless, it is extraordinarily tender and tasty. Sweet custard pairs well with the slightly tart apricots and the crisp crust of the dough. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
