This dried apricot pie has been my go to dessert for years, and I love sharing it because it's honestly so simple to make. The beauty of using dried apricots is that you don't need fresh fruit in season, plus they're incredibly affordable and shelf stable, making this perfect for baking year round. Apricots are packed with fiber and vitamin A, so you can almost convince yourself this indulgent pie is good for you. With just ninety minutes from start to table and straightforward ingredients you likely have on hand, this is the kind of recipe that looks fancy but comes together without any fuss. The orange liqueur adds a subtle sophistication that makes it feel special, but honestly, the real star is that lovely, jammy filling that your family will be asking for again and again.
