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).
