Bonnie, CA here is a recipe for dried apricot pie however it is not a 2 crust-perhaps you can work with it and if you come up with a 2 crust version let me know.
Apricot Meringue Pie
1 3/4 cup dried apricots 3 1/2 cup cold water 1 1/3 cup sugar 6 Tbsp cornstarch 1/4 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine 1 baked 9" pastry shell
Meringue: 3 egg whites 1/4 tsp cream of tartar 6 Tbsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. grated lemon peel
Rinse apricots, add water, boil slowly uncovered about 20 min. Drain cooking liquid from apricots; add water to make 1 1/4 cups. Combine fruit, liquid, sugar, cornstarch, salt, butter; cook and stir till thick. Pour into baked pastry shell, cover with meringue. Bake in hot oven (400 deg. F.) 8-10 min., till lightly browned. Cool before cutting.
To make meringue: beat whites with cream of tartar to fine foam stage. Gradually beat in sugar, beating till stiff and glossy. Fold in lemon rind.
