Mix two tablespoons of apricot jam with one tablespoon of water and microwave until fully dissolved and thickened, and then brush it on the pie crust when it comes out of the oven.

Tips

1. Bread crumbs are added to soak up the excess water in the apple filling, or you can use cake crumbs.

2. Homemade breadcrumbs: just dry the toast in the sun or toast it and break it up in a food processor.

3. When making apple filling, keep the heat on high all the time when sautéing as there is a lot of water in the apples.

4. You can leave out the cinnamon if you don't like the flavor.
