Pie with walnuts and apricots
Description
It goes perfectly with tea and coffee. I call this walnut and apricot pie a bachelor’s pie because of how extremely simple it is to make. In fact, I don’t even know how this pie could be ruined—it is insanely easy to prepare, yet it always turns out very tasty and, importantly for bachelors, filling and nutritious. In general, this kind of pie is usually liked by everyone—both children and adults. Good luck with your baking. The pastry is ready. Serve it to the table.
