Serves: 8 Print this RecipeHarriet Warkentin - San Jacinto, California Bake-Off@ Contest 33, 1988 Since Harriet Warkentins children are grown and she no longer has to cook for a family of eight, she has time for more indulgent recipes like this apricot cream pie.

In blender container or food processor bowl with metal blade, combine remaining 3/4 cup apricot nectar and remaining can apricot halves. Cover; blend until smooth. In medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt; mix well. Stir in milk and apricot mixture. (Mixture will look curdled.)

Gradually stir yolk mixture into hot mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in margarine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and softened gelatin. Fold in 1/2 cup toasted coconut. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Fold in apricot pieces. Spoon into cooled baked shell. Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until filling is partially set. In large bowl, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in apricot preserves. Pipe or spoon whipped topping mixture over cooled filling. Garnish with 1/2 cup toasted coconut. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or until set.
