Apricot Filling
Combine 3 lbs fresh apricots with 6 oz granulated sugar, the finely grated zest and juice from 1 lemon and ⅛ teaspoon table saltet aside to macerate for at least 1 hour. Drain the apricots, you should have about ¾ cup of juice.
Combine ¼ cup of the juice with ¾ oz corn starch. Heat the remaining juice on medium high until it begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the corn starch slurry. Return to a boil, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and toss the juices with the apricot slices. Gently fold in 1 pint raspberries. Avoid breaking up the berries.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Remove the pie plate from the refrigerator. Pour the apricots into the pie plate. Unfold the dough round for the top crust.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife cut the circle into ½" - 1" wide strips. Brush the edges of the bottom crust with egg white. Lay half the strips over the filling then weave the other strips to form a lattice pattern. Trim the excess dough, leaving a 1" border for crimping. Using a fork or your fingers, crimp the crust. Brush the entire top of the pie with egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place the pie on a sheet tray and bake until golden brown and the fruit in the middle of the pie is tender - about 1¼ hours.
Cool to room temp to set the filling before slicing.
