Peach and Apricot Pie

Sorry I didn't get a chance to post last night. I finished my project but was too tired to walk through it last night so to make up for it today I have two projects.

Or rather a recipe and a project. Peach and Apricot Pie. 

The crust

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 1/2 cups chilled butter ( I freeze it)
• 1/2 cup chilled shortening 
• 6+ Tbsp Cold water

Mix flour, salt and sugar. Use a grater to grate the butter and shortening in. Toss to coat. sprinkle in water and fold to mix. Shape into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for about half an hour before rolling. Roll dough on lightly floured surface and trim to fit pan. (I made small ones with a special pan I received for Christmas so mine made  4 small pies)

For the filling

• 15oz can peaches, drained
• 2 15oz cans apricots,drained
• 1 Tbsp corn starch
• 3Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon 

 Mix all ingredients and spoon into crust, add top crust seal edges and add a few slices in the top to vent steam. brush top with milk and sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes

The mix of fruits is surprisingly good. I hope you enjoy this little treat.
