Preparation

Step 1

Combine the eggs, sour cream, sugar, 1/4 cup (60 ml) flour, salt, and almond extract, beating well. Stir in the apricots and pour into the prepared pie shell. Bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the 1/3 cup (80 ml) flour with the brown sugar. Mix well, then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove the pie from the oven after 25 minutes and sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture. Return the pie to the oven and bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until the filling is set. Cool to room temperature or serve chilled, with whipped cream if desired. Serves 6 to 8.
