I’ll say right away that I didn’t use a kilogram of flour, but then it turned out that even half two hundred was too much for me, or rather, I simply wouldn’t eat it. I kneaded the dough from 500 gr. flour (I took all the ingredients strictly in half), from half I got 2 baking sheets of pies (12 pcs. and 15 pcs.), and I froze the rest of the dough. There were 400 g of dried apricots, a little left.

My friend’s mom insisted on raw yeast, I didn’t have it, I cooked with dry yeast. The situation with them is a little different than with raw ones. I’ll tell you about raw ones, as they explained to me, and how I did it myself. Raw yeast: knead the yeast with your hands, add half a glass of water (this is for 1 kg), 1 tbsp. sugar, 1 tbsp. flour, heat a little on the stove, but do not cook. Let it stand, and at this time sift the flour, then add all the other ingredients, i.e. we move on to step 2.

An extra half an hour, but the test is pleased that they communicate with him and care about him! Dough: combine dry yeast, warm milk, warm water, sugar, 200 gr. flour and let this mixture stand in a warm place. My yeast woke up in 20 minutes, sometimes it takes more time.

How to make a pie filled with dried apricots:
1. Pour warm water into a deep saucepan, dissolve the yeast in it and add a couple of teaspoons of sugar. Place in a warm place for the yeast to rise slightly.
2. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate container and melt the butter in it. Then add sugar and stir well. Cool slightly.
3. Then mix the yeast with the cooled milk, add vanillin, egg and mix thoroughly. Gradually stir the flour into the dough until it is not too stiff. Otherwise, it will be difficult to form a pie out of it later. The dough should be kneaded well, there should be no lumps left.
4. Place the dough in a warm place for 15 minutes, covered with a lid or thick towel. After this, the dough should be kneaded and placed in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours.
5. To fill the dried apricots, pour warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes, then drain the dirty water and transfer the dried apricots to a deep saucepan. Pour in 100 ml of water and place on medium heat. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat to low and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then add sugar and cook for another half hour. The syrup should be thick and the dried apricots should be soft.
6. Remove the dough from the pan and place it on a floured table. Divide it into two equal parts. Roll out a flat cake from one part about 2 cm thick. And divide the second part of the dough into three more equal parts.
7. Cover a baking pan with parchment and place the resulting flatbread in it. Place the filling and carefully spread throughout the pan. Then roll out the remaining three pieces of dough into thin “sausages.” Lightly brush the edges of the cake with egg white. Place one “sausage” on top of the edge of the mold and press lightly. This way, the filling will not leak out during baking. From the remaining two parts of the dough, that is, the “sausages,” make a binding over the filling.
8. Brush the edges and binding with egg yolk and place in the oven. Leave to bake until golden brown for about 40 minutes at 180°C.

How else can you prepare the filling?
When the dried apricots are quite tough, they need to be boiled. For the filling, 400 g of dried fruits are enough, as well as approximately 120 g of sugar. Soak the dried apricots for fifteen minutes, then rinse, add hot water and place on the stove. Boil for another fifteen minutes, remove from the water and mix with sugar.
Alternatively, you can make sweet puree. To do this, soak half a kilogram of dried fruits as usual, then pour just a little water into the frying pan and transfer the dried apricots there. Simmer it, mix with sugar, grind in a blender or meat grinder.
And for a richer taste, you can supplement with dried apricots and other products. For example, you can take 100 g of dried apricots, 100 g of dried peaches, 200 g of dates, 50 g of dried cranberries, 70 g of hazelnuts, 100 g of dried apples, 5 g of cinnamon and 2 g of nutmeg, a little cloves, orange juice and zest, 180 ml sweet sherry.
Mix all of the above products in a small bowl and pour sweet sherry or wine over them and leave to soak overnight. You can exclude, supplement or replace any of the ingredients provided. Once soaked, they should be used within three to four days, stored covered with foil in the refrigerator.
When using, the products must be chopped with a knife. To prevent them from sticking to the knife, dip it in cornstarch, corn flour or powdered sugar.
You can mix dried apricots, soaked and minced through a meat grinder, with jam, such as peach or apricot. You can use any syrup. And if the dried fruits are too sweet, you can add a couple of drops of lemon or lime juice to them.
Among other ingredients, dried fruits can be added with vanilla (and it is advisable to take a real vanilla stick and use its soft part), chocolate drops, various nuts, raisins, various fruits, for example, an apple or banana. Some people add pumpkin seeds or peanuts. Before use, nuts do not need to be soaked, but rather heated in a frying pan so that they reveal their taste and aroma, and they do not need to be crushed.
The flour must be sifted, preferably not once, but twice. This promotes improved yeast performance. You can also dry the flour thoroughly before using it to reduce the time it takes to rise the dough.
To do this, the desired amount of flour should be poured into a bag, tied and placed on the radiator for two or three days. Then sift and use according to the recipe. If you get used to doing this every time, rising the dough will take not an hour and a half, but forty-five minutes.
Real dried apricots are dark in color and don’t look as appetizing, but they actually contain vitamins. Bright orange dried apricots contain a dye added by manufacturers, and they are much tougher than natural ones. Of course, in this case there is nothing to say about vitamins. It is worth taking this into account when giving pies to children.
To gather the whole family for a cup of tea in the evening, you just need to entice them with the delicious aroma of baking. All your efforts will be appreciated by snapped up pies and satisfied smiles of your loved ones. Get ready to listen to praise!

But every housewife tries to find the recipe that will allow her to prepare a pie with dried apricots quickly and easily.
Required Ingredients
Pie with dried apricots is one of the favorite desserts of many people with a sweet tooth; both children and adults love it. It can be baked both for a regular everyday table and for a festive one. Different versions of the presented treat can be found in every housewife’s piggy bank. Despite its simplicity, the pie with dried apricots turns out very tasty and tender. It is necessary to properly prepare the following components for the recipe to be fully revealed:
- margarine - 200 g;
- sour cream – 200 g;
- flour – 500 g;
- salt – 0.5 dessert spoon;
- baking powder - dessert spoon;
You also need to take care of the filling, the recipe for which is simple, but goes surprisingly harmoniously with the base of the pie. We will need the following ingredients:
- dried apricots – 250 g;
- granulated sugar – 250 g;
- butter – 50 g;
- flour – 250 g.
Sequencing
The first step is to prepare the dried apricots. It is thoroughly washed under running water and poured with boiling water, after which it is left for at least an hour. This way the dried apricots will steam well, and as a result we will get a juicy and tender filling.
Preparing the dough
1. The recipe for making a pie with dried apricots at the first stage involves kneading the dough. To do this, take margarine and grind it with flour into crumbs. If 2 cups of flour is not enough, you can add a little more. But here it is important not to overdo it. The dough should have the desired consistency.
2. Next, add sour cream to the resulting mixture of margarine and flour. To do this, you need to take a separate container and add sour cream and a mixture of flour and margarine in small portions. Then add baking powder and salt. If the dough sticks to your hands, add another glass of sifted flour (add a little at a time so as not to overdo it). The prepared mass should be placed in a cold place while we prepare the filling.
Working with the filling
1. To prepare the filling, you need to take the soaked dried apricots, and pour the liquid in which they were soaked into a separate container - you will need this “compote” later: since the filling for baking with dried apricots will still be a bit dry, you will need to mix it with the resulting compote. To grind dried fruits, you need to pass them through a meat grinder. Be sure to rinse the meat grinder immediately, otherwise the metal will oxidize heavily after the dried apricots.
2. Add granulated sugar to the filling and mix thoroughly. After this, you will probably notice that the filling is slightly dry. To eliminate the problem, you should add a little of the liquid that you saved after soaking. If the filling is sufficiently moistened, it will be easier to spread it evenly onto the dough, and after baking it will become more tender and softer. It is important not to overdo it here, otherwise the liquid will leak out in the oven and your cake will be ruined.
3. Then divide the dough into two unequal parts: one should be larger, the other smaller. First, roll out the larger part of the dough into a layer and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Distribute the filling on the resulting base. Roll out the second piece of dough into a layer, cover it with the first layer with filling and form a pie.
4. When you form a pie with dried apricots, you must carefully pinch the edges, otherwise during baking all the filling may leak out. Form a curly seam.
5. To decorate the pie, prepare crumbs. The recipe is also very simple: you need to grind the butter with flour. That's all. Sprinkle the pie well with the prepared crumbs. Place the prepared pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for half an hour. After the specified time has passed, remove the pie from the oven, wait until it cools down and serve with tea. This simple dried apricot pie recipe is sure to become one of your family's favorites!
