Pear and Apricot Pie
12 servings
50 minutes
Pear-apricot pie is a refined combination of tender dough with fruity aroma, inspired by traditional Italian baking. Its roots trace back to cozy home bakeries in Italy, where fruits have always played a key role in desserts. Sweet, syrup-soaked pears and apricots add juiciness and a slight tartness to the pie, while coconut flakes provide an exotic touch. The light airy sponge perfectly envelops the fruits, creating a balance between softness and richness of flavor. This pie will be a highlight of any tea gathering, especially when paired with aromatic coffee or robust black tea. It can be served warm or chilled, allowing one to enjoy the richness of flavor and delicate texture.
