Apricot pie with frozen apricots
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can either hide the apricots in this pie or place them on top—it depends on how you've frozen them. Halves or attractive whole slices can be arranged on the surface, while smaller pieces are better tucked inside. First, thaw the frozen apricots. Also, remember to take the butter out of the fridge ahead of time. The pie with frozen apricots is prepared as follows: 1. Mix flour, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and baking soda to form the batter. Its consistency should be similar to that used for pancakes. There's no need to activate the baking soda with vinegar or lemon juice, as the batter contains kefir. 2. Grease the baking form with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs, making sure to coat the sides as well. Pour the batter into the form. 3. Place the apricots on top. Alternatively, you can pour half of the batter into the form, arrange the apricots on it, then cover them with the remaining batter. This is up to your preference. 4. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 40–45 minutes. Check the doneness of the pie with a toothpick or wooden skewer.
