Hot Apricots In Sour Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make well in center of mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla to well. Using fork, stir sour cream mixture into dry mixture until dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Sprinkle apricots over. Knead dough until apricots are incorporated, about 10 turns. Flatten dough into 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges.
• Transfer wedges to baking sheet. Brush with egg. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a oven proof baking dish with a single layer of Apricot halves. (use any shape dish, but to give a size indication i use a 25-30cm round) In separate bowl, combine sugar and flour, add sour cream, egg and vanilla, mix until smooth. (Easy to mix - just with a spoon.) Pour the mixture over the apricots. Should only just cover the single layer of Apricots. Bake in moderate oven for 35mins. Remove from oven. Add crumbly topping and return to over for 10-15 mins. Topping: Combine sugar and cinnamon. Rub in butter till you get a crumbly consistency. I like it served hot from the oven with ice cream. But it is also nice cold the next day

Steps:

• For the dough: Cut butter into cubes, combine all ingredients and use fingers to blend until mixture resembles coarse meal (can use a pastry knife also).
• Add 6 tbsp ice water, mix with fingers or large fork until dough just comes together.
• Turn it out onto a well-floured board.
• Form it into a disk with your hands and let sit for 15-30 minutes before rolling.

• Blend together sour cream, 2 tbsp sugar, flour, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla.
• Separately beat the 3 egg whites until stiff and fold into sour cream filling.
• Then roll out and line 9" pie tin with dough and gently fill by layering apricots and filling.
• Brush any remaining exposed crust with the egg yolk.
• (Can make a top crust or lattice, if desired, by doubling dough recipe.).
