A Buttery Rustic Pie Filled with Sweet Summer Apricots
This old-fashioned apricot pie is one of those simple desserts that celebrates summer at its best. Juicy apricots are gently tossed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of Gratsi White Wine, then baked between two layers of buttery grated dough until beautifully golden. The result is a tender, crumbly pie with a fragrant fruit filling that is just sweet enough to let the natural flavor of the apricots shine.

Woman with long curly hair in a black tank top and striped apron stands in a kitchen, looking down while splitting an apricot in half. Other apricots are on the counter in front of her. Shelves and jars are in the background. A group of 15 ripe apricots is arranged on a wooden cutting board next to a glass of amber-colored liquid. Halved apricots with pits removed are arranged on a wooden surface. A small part of a glass with light-colored liquid is visible in the upper left corner.

STEP 1

Wash, pit, and slice the apricots into medium-thick wedges (not too thin), so they hold their shape while baking.
In a bowl, combine the sliced apricots, cognac, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Gently toss everything together and set aside.

A glass bowl filled with sliced apricots sits on a wooden surface. In the background, there is a glass filled with a yellow liquid. A person pours brown sugar from a white bowl over sliced peaches in a glass mixing bowl. They are wearing a striped apron.

STEP 2

In another bowl, whisk together the warm melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Sift them together through a fine-mesh sieve into the butter mixture.

STEP 3

Gradually mix everything together. Once the dough becomes too thick to stir, knead it gently by hand until you have a smooth, soft dough. Grease a 10-inch (26 cm) baking pan and lightly dust it with 1 tablespoon of flour.

A ball of dough sits in the center of a large, gray ceramic bowl on a wooden surface, ready for baking; a glass with liquid is visible in the background.

STEP 4

Grate half of the dough directly into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to form the base. Spoon the apricot filling evenly over the dough. If there are any juices left in the bowl, pour them over the apricots.

STEP 5

Grate the remaining dough evenly over the filling.
(If using a springform pan, wrap the bottom with aluminum foil to prevent any juices from leaking during baking.)

Sliced peaches coated in a glossy syrup are arranged in a white bowl on a wooden surface, ready to be used for baking or eating. A round baking dish filled with an uncooked crumb topping sits on a wooden cutting board, with a glass of amber liquid in the background.

STEP 6

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C)for 55–60 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden. Allow the pie to cool completely, then dust generously with powdered sugar and a light sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Enjoy! This pie is delicious served at room temperature and tastes even better the next day, when the buttery crust has absorbed all the wonderful flavors of the sweet summer apricots.
