If the weather reigns outside, and the soul requires a piece of summer, bake a pie with pieces of the sun. Apricot pie is a great reminder of warm sunny days. We offer you some delicious recipes, among which everyone can find the perfect option.

Apricot Shortcake

First, we hasten to introduce fragrant pastries with a crumbly base and bright filling.

Shortbread cake with apricots is unthinkable without an oil component. It can be margarine, fat, butter. Together with flour, they give cakes traditional friability.

Another important point is: the mandatory exposure of the test before rolling in the refrigerator.

Shortcrust pastry will require the following components:

  • margarine, and even better butter - 100 g;
  • wheat flour - 160 g;
  • almond flour - 20 g;
  • eggs - 1 pc.;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • icing sugar - 65 g.

For the filling, in addition to 800 g of apricots, take:

  • sugar - 100 g;
  • butter - 50 g;
  • starch - Art. l

Shortcrust pastry is not as laborious as it might seem from the outside.

It just requires precise adherence to kneading technology:

  1. Depending on what was chosen as the fat component, margarine or oil, cut it into cubes. The smaller they are, the easier it will be in the next step.
  2. And the next step is to add both types of flour. Grind with your hands until you get butter-flour crumbs.
  3. Break the egg.
  4. Add the icing sugar and salt. Grind again.
  5. We leave a little crumbs - we will need it in the future.
  6. The remaining dough is sent to cool in the refrigerator.
  7. After 20 minutes, divide the dough into two parts (larger and smaller), spread the dough on a plastic wrap. We roll it into a layer - most of it will become our cake, and the smaller - the top.We carefully lay out the large rolled dough in a baking dish. Sent to the refrigerator again. Small - there too.
  8. While our cake is fixed, let's proceed to the filling. We cut apricots. Spread on the pan. And fry in oil with sugar. Cool the finished stuffing.
  9. The filling has cooled down, so again we turn to the cake. Sprinkle it with starch. We cut the smaller layer into strips - we will lay them in the form of a wicker at the top of the pie.
  10. Juicy pie filling can soak the sand base, which threatens with the loss of a characteristic texture. To avoid negative impact, without sacrificing a large amount of juice from the filling, sand cake should be protected by starch.
  11. After sprinkling with starch, we spread the filling.
  12. We form a picture from the stripes of dough.
  13. It’s time to remember about the crumb, postponed for another 5 cooking steps. Sprinkle the top of our pie with it.

40 minutes, during which a sand cake with apricots will be baked, will seem like an eternity to you, because the aromas of the house will soar just incredible.

Curd Baking

The next pie can be compared to a giant cheesecake with lots of bright orange suns on the surface. The taste is simply amazing, and the preparation is not overly troublesome.

As a cake, we propose to do something in between the shortcrust pastry and the dough for muffins: such air-friable.

To prepare the dough for cottage cheese pastries with apricots, you will need:

  • flour - 250 g;
  • butter - 100 g;
  • sugar - 100 g;
  • eggs - 1 pc.;
  • baking powder.

Stuffing involves the use of the following ingredients:

  • cottage cheese - 400 g;
  • sour cream - 50 g;
  • sugar - 50 g;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • starch - 1.5 tbsp. l .;
  • a few apricots.

Note! The amount of sugar is selected individually depending on the sweetness of apricots.

To bake a cake with apricots and cottage cheese, we perform the following steps:

  1. Butter, which is about half an hour ago already extracted from the refrigerator, beat with a mixer until a lush cream.
  2. Without turning off the mixer, break the egg into the bowl.
  3. Set the mixer aside, because it will be impossible to beat flour with baking powder to the desired consistency. Therefore, first resort to the help of a spoon, and then knead with your hands.
  4. What should be the dough for curd pastry with apricots? Moderately soft, by no means steep and not sticky.
  5. Wrap the finished dough in cling film and send it to the refrigerator.
  6. To stand the dough in the refrigerator should be 60 minutes. Therefore, manipulations with the filling do not start immediately, but only after 40 minutes.
  7. To get the perfect filling, it is recommended to wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve. But if the filling structure is not a fundamental factor, you can simply stretch the cottage cheese with your hands.
  8. We mix sour cream, egg and sugar at the same time.
  9. Last enter starch. The filling is ready.
  10. We roll out the dough aged in the refrigerator in a circle. Its diameter should be larger than the diameter of the baking dish in order to form sides of a height of 1.5-2 cm.
  11. Having formed the cake, we first spread the filling from the cottage cheese, then, slightly pressing the fruit into the filling, spread the halves of the apricots.
  12. We bake the pie according to the following scheme: the first 30 minutes at 180 ° C, the remaining 20 minutes - at 160 ° C.

We determine the readiness of cottage cheese baking with apricots in appearance: when the edges get a pleasant blush, and the cottage cheese becomes golden with a light crust on top, we boldly remove the finished product from the oven.

This recipe for apricot pie can be considered not only in the form of the possibility of making a dessert, but also as a tasty alternative to trivial breakfasts.
