Ingredients
Crust:
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup butter-flavored shortening
-
6 tablespoons water, or as needed
Filling:
-
1 cup white sugar
-
1/4 cup all purpose flour
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
5 cups fresh apricots, pitted and quartered
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon sugar for sprinkling, or as desired
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
To make the dough: Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Using a fork, mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough just holds together. Divide dough in half and form each half into a ball.
-
Roll each ball out on a floured surface into a crust big enough for a 9-inch pie dish with an inch or so to spare. Carefully lift one crust, fold it into quarters, position it into a 9-inch pie dish, and unfold to fit. Set second crust aside.
-
To make the filling: Mix 1 cup sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in apricots and lemon juice. Spoon filling over bottom crust, then top with remaining crust. Crimp crust edges together with a fork and cut away any excess. Cut slits into top crust to allow steam to escape. Cover the edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
-
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven until the pie is browned and the filling is bubbling and thickened, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool and sprinkle top with remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar.
