Yeast pie with apricots
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. I’m eager to share the recipe for the most successful dough, from which you can make a pie with any fruits and berries. And if, for example, you remove all the sugar in the second step, you can safely bake a pie with an unsweetened filling. Try it, you will definitely succeed Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
