Apricot Bundles - Dessert RECIPE

Apricot Bundles - Dessert RECIPE

I just love these little summer presents.  These fresh apricots are bundled up in homemade pie crust pastry.  You should enjoy making pies and pastries before deciding to tackle this recipe - it can be tedious (I enjoy every detailed second!).




Printable Recipe

6 Apricots (washed & pitted)

double pie crust

sugar (2 teaspoons per "bundle" - there will be 12 bundles)

butter (1 dab per pastry - about 1/2 teaspoon)

vanilla sugar for sprinkling on top

Step 1:  Make my double pie crust recipe seen at the bottom of the "Making Pie Crust" post:  click HERE to view pie crust post

Step 2:  Cut the pie pastry into 12 equal chunks (see picture above). 

Step 3:  Take 1 chunk & roll out on a lightly floured surface.

Step 4:  Place half of one apricot (already washed & pitted) in the middle of the rolled out crust (see picture below) (the skin remains on and will bake down - you won't even know that it's in there)

Step 5:  Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar in the middle of the apricot (where the pit was), dot with a bit of butter & then gently close up the pie crust around the plum like a little purse (see picture below).

Step 6: Line a muffin tin (line each space) with parchment paper (I cut it into smaller pieces).  Place the "bundle" in the parchment lined muffin tin and repeat steps 3 to 5 until all apricot halves have been used up (there will be 12 Apricot Bundles total) 

Step 7:  Sprinkle some vanilla sugar on top of each bundle.

Step 8:  Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 - 30 minutes or until desired brownness is achieved

Step 9:  Remove from the oven and remove each bundle by lifting up on the parchment paper.  Cool on a wire rack.

Serve & ENJOY!!
