I substituted Minute Tapioca for corn starch. Cleaner less gooey taste. Mother was a professional pie baker and always used Tapioca. Never flour or corn starch. http://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/how-to-use-tapioca-for-pies-article

Oh.My.Goodness! This is a FABULOUS pie. Simple and delicious. No-muss, no-fuss that allows the fresh fruit flavor to shine. We used our homegrown apricots and it came out wonderfully sweet-tart. I subbed flour for the cornstarch and I dotted the top of the fruit with a tablespoon of cut-up cold butter. The recipe doesn't specify, but assumed this is a 2-crust pie. I just used storebought crusts and I spinkled the top crust with a little sugar before baking. I used 6 cups of diced fruit (skins on!) because I made a deep dish pie. Mine was done after about 40 minutes - any longer and it would have burned. I want to definately make this again - and I WILL because I still have almost 10 pounds of apricots to use up! Thanks Recipe Junkie!

Delicious! A wonderful way to use apricots. Always on the lookout for baked apricot recipes to eat during the short season and to freeze for a later day.

Delicious. Can't wait for apricot season to come around again, so I can make this recipe again. I served it to a nice trim senior citizen who had moved from the East Coast to Hawaii and she liked it so much she had 2 big pieces. I used tapioca to combat the runnyness.
