2. Prepare Apricots: Start by slicing the dried apricots in half and rinsing them with water to remove any excess dust or residue.

3. Cook Apricots: In a saucepan, combine the rinsed apricots with 1 3/4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes until the apricots are softened.

4. Prepare Cornstarch Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the optional orange liqueur and about 1 tablespoon of the hot liquid from the apricots. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cornstarch mixture to the cooked apricots in the saucepan. Stir in the white sugar until well combined. Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your dried apricots (see note below).

6. Assemble Pie: Pour the apricot filling into the unbaked pie shell. If using a top crust, place it over the filling and seal the edges. Optionally, brush the top crust with milk to achieve a golden color when baked.

7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 1 hour, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delightful dessert warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Notes

• Adjusting Sugar: Depending on the sweetness of your dried apricots, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar from the 1 3/4 cups called for in the recipe. Sweet apricots may require less sugar to avoid an overly sweet pie. Start with 2/3 to 3/4 cup of sugar and adjust to taste.
