Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup raisins
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
• ½ cup powdered milk
• 1 double crust ready-to-use pie crust
• ½ teaspoon stevia powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Whisk together the powdered milk, cornstarch, stevia powder, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Place apricots, raisins, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the powdered milk mixture, and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in white vinegar and butter. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Turn the filling into a pastry lined pie pan. Cover with top crust. Seal edges, and cut slits in the top crust.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing.
