I left out the tapoica on this one but heres a tip to people with olden-age oven lower the temperature to 350 after 20 minutes bake time..I really liked this pie but it almost turned dark brown when I was not looking-if you have a fan in your oven please lower the temperature!!! I loved the taste of the apricots and it was so SWEET!!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
