I think this was originally from an old Farm Journal cookbook. It is oh, so good and VERY rich. Almost as rich as cheesecake.

1-1/2 C dried apricots

Cover with water,bring to a simmer and cook 10 min, adding 2 TBL sugar after 5 min. Drain,cool and cut into small pieces.

Combine:

2 eggs, slightly beaten

2 C sour cream (I have used lite, but not the fat free)

1-1/2 C sugar

1/4 C flour

1/2 tsp salt

Recipe

Beat well and stir in apricots

Pour into an unbaked 10" pie shell

Bake at 400º for 25 minutes

Meanwhile, mix together

1/3 C flour

1/2 C light brown sugar

Cut in 1/4 C (half a stick) butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs

After pie has baked for 25 minutes, remove it from the oven and top with the crumb mixture. Continue baking for 20-25 more minutes until filling is set.

Cool to room temperature or chill before serving (with whipped cream of course!)
