Apricot Pie
Description
Ideal with tea and coffee. Without almonds, cashews, rich cream, or other expensive ingredients, you can make a wonderful pie from ordinary products that any housewife always has. Fluffy, tender, and very tasty. Apricots can be fresh or canned. If desired, you can add vanilla or vanilla sugar to the dough, but you won’t notice much difference. Place the sliced pie in a covered dish. This way it will stay fresh for 3–4 days, if it manages to last that long. The pie fully deserves the name “Delightful.” Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
