This recipe is a true gem! I have made it so many times, it is absolutely delicious! Always a crowd pleaser! I substitute the cognac for orange juice, the butter for organic shortening, and the eggs for chia or flax eggs to make the recipe vegan. I have made it using ground pecans or pistachios in the crust, and although the original apricot is my favorite I have also swapped it out for blackberry, blueberry, raspberry jam, fig jam on different occasions with much success.... it is SUCH a versatile recipe and it is my absolute favorite! Thank you so much for this recipe! 5 STARS!
