Home cooking

This pie is from my childhood. Summer holidays are in full swing, we have just arrived or, on the contrary, we are going to go to the sea, and throughout the city, especially in the private sector, the asphalt around the trees is strewn with poles - this is what we call wild apricot on the Don. We drag buckets from the dacha, make preserves, jams, and dry dried apricots. And of course, mom bakes Vanya’s curls. And no matter how much time has passed since then, as soon as crumbling poles appear on the sun-warmed asphalt and yellowed lawns, I open the apricot season - I bake three simple pies one after another - apricot pie with a grated top of Vanina curls, apricot pie with meringue and apricot charlotte.

Apricot pie from Yulia Vysotskaya - useful tips and tricks

• Does the cake not come out of the pan? No need to rush! Leave it to stand for a while. The bottom will become damp and the baked goods will fall away from their shape. If in doubt, you can place the mold in a bowl of water or simply on a damp towel.

• If the apricots for the pie are very soft and juicy, then before adding them you can dip them in starch. The powder will absorb some of the water and make the juice thicker.

• Not all apricots are easy to pit. If you come across stubborn fruits, you just need to arm yourself with a knife and carefully cut out the pit. The same is done with plums and peaches. The difficulty of extracting a seed depends only on the variety.

• If there are no apricots, then peaches, plums, and apples can be used for pies. Yulia Vysotskaya loves experiments; she has more than a hundred recipes for baking with fruits, berries, and nuts.

I quickly spotted a pie with apricots in a book by Yulia Vysotskaya. I think everyone has similar gift editions. Personally, I'm not a big fan of book collections, but I liked her book. And she took pride of place next to Jamie Oliver and Makarchuk. Yes, yes, he also has a chic cookbook about “male” cuisine.

I baked this pie when my dad brought me 2 buckets of apricots. Delicious, sweet and aromatic. I processed one and a half buckets into jam. We ate the rest, but about 5 apricots lay sadly on the table. Don't let the goodness go to waste. Moreover, I haven’t baked for a very long time. And the weather allowed us to turn on the oven.

The first thought was to make charlotte with apricots. And I also remembered about the “Glass” pie. But I wanted something more refined. And I remembered Julia’s gorgeous plum pie. And she decided that Vysotskaya should have baked something with apricots. And I was not mistaken.

I must say right away that the recipe exceeded all my expectations. There really is no need to spend hours in the kitchen for multi-layer cakes with exotic fruit coulis. You can just take the simplest ingredients and make a simply amazing pie!

My daughter didn’t like the sourness of the apricot. That's why I also baked this same recipe using peaches. By the way, canned peaches are wonderful here.
