Fragrant apricot pie
8 servings
50 minutes
Aromatic apricot pie is the embodiment of summer mood and the coziness of home baking. Its flavor is based on the harmony of tender dough infused with floral honey aroma and the sweet tartness of apricots. Honey, used instead of sugar, gives the pie a refined sweetness and softness, while whipped egg whites make it airy and light. This dish has roots in Russian cuisine, where fruits are traditionally used in desserts to highlight natural flavors and simplicity in preparation. The pie is perfect for warm family evenings, tea parties, and special occasions. Serving it with honey glaze makes it not only beautiful but also richer in taste. Each slice of this pie is a memory of sunny summer and enjoyment of nature's harmony.
