Mincemeat Apricot Pie

Submitted by Sydney Mike

"Mincemeat is one of my favorite foods, but I'm aware that many people dislike the intenst taste of it. To accomodate some of my family members during the winter holidays, I've added some additional ingredients to make it less intense & more festive. I've also made this recipe as a 'pastryless' pie & simply spooned it onto serving plates -- very good, & takes much less time to make!"
