Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Pie Filling:
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup dried peaches
1 cup dried pears
3 cups Apple Juice
1/2 cup seedless raisins
1/4 cup golden seedless raisins
1 cup water
3 Tablespoons Kuzu Root Starch -- dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water
2 Tablespoons Mugi Miso -- dissolved in 3 T. orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 Tablespoons Mirin
1 cup walnuts -- lightly pan roasted and chopped
Pie Crust:
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Apple Juice -- or cold water

Soak dried apricots, peaches and pears in 3 cups apple juice for 2 hours. Remove from juice, squeeze and reserve soaking juice. Chop the fruit into small pieces. Combine fruit, soaking juice, raisins and 1 cup water in a sauce pan. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add dissolved kuzu, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes thick and shiny. Add the dissolved miso with orange juice, spices, orange peel, mirin and walnuts. Simmer, constantly stirring for 3 to 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350&dg;. Make the pie crust. Mix flours, salt and oil together with a fork or pastry blender until the flour forms small pebbles. Add the water all at once, mixing quickly, to form a ball of dough. Do not over mix or knead. Roll out the dough on a floured board or between two pieces of baking paper, forming a thin crust. Place crust in a 9" pie plate. Crimp edges and trim crust. Poke holes several places in the bottom of the crust with a fork to allow steam to release and prevent bubbling. Bake crust for 5 minutes. Remove and place filling in the crust. If you wish you may bake without a top crust, with a lattice weave crust or a full top crust. If using a full top crust, cut 3 or 4 slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake for 40 minutes and allow to cool before slicing.

If using a full crust, double the pie crust recipe and roll out two crusts. Bake the bottom crust for 5 minutes before adding filling. Then place the top crust on, trim the edges and bake again for 35 to 40 minutes.
