Fresh Orange Pie
- 1 pastry dough, for a 1-crust pie
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 9 large navel oranges
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 2/3 cup apricot jam
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare dough for a 1-crust pie, adding grated orange zest. Line pie plate with pastry. Prick pastry with fork to prevent puffing during baking. Bake in preheated oven until golden, about 12 minutes; cool.
- Meanwhile, peel oranges and section into segments. Squeeze membrane and reserve juice; you should have about 1 cup. Pour sugar over segments and let stand 1 hour. Drain liquid from segments, add to reserved juice to make 1-1/2 cups (add extra juice if necessary).
- Place juice in a double boiler with salt and cornstarch. Cook until thickened. Add vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
- Spread apricot jam on baked pie shell. Add orange segments, spreading over jam. Pour cooled sauce over orange segments. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
