How to Make Fresh Orange Pie
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine pie crust dough with 1 tablespoon of grated orange zest. Mix well.
- Roll out the dough and carefully line a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, peel oranges and carefully segment them, removing as much membrane as possible. Reserve the juice.
- You should have approximately 1 1/2 cups of orange segments and 1 1/2 cups of juice.
- In a medium bowl, toss the orange segments with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and let stand for 1 hour. Drain off any excess liquid and add it to the reserved orange juice.
- In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine the orange juice, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the glaze cool to room temperature.
- Spread the apricot jam evenly over the cooled pie crust.
- Arrange the orange segments on top of the apricot jam, spreading them evenly.
- Pour the cooled orange glaze over the orange segments.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes before serving (optional).
