Mom's Apricot Cobbler

Step 1: First, prepare pie dough, three times, flattening each disk, wrapping in saran wrap and refrigerating. It's best to prepare three separate batches than one big batch.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pyrex dish with butter-flavored shortening.

Step 3: Halve apricots, dropping into saucepan with lemon juice sprinkled over them. Add sugar and water and bring to a boil, but don't stir. Remove from heat and taste, if needed add more sugar or lemon juice.

Step 4: Meanwhile remove first pie dough from fridge, place on floured surface and roll into a rectangle 13" long. Slice into 1 1/4 inch strips. Criss-cross strips on bottom and around sides of pyrex pan. When first dough used up, roll out second in same manner, using it to finish bottom and sides, but saving some for top.

Step 5: Pour apricots into pan and dot with butter. Criss-cross strips on top (rolling out third dough), then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, to taste.

Step 6: Bake 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream, or just milk, that's how I like it.
