We're sorry to hear you had trouble with this recipe, Kim. We are happy to help you troubleshoot so you can get a better result if you choose to try this recipe again in the future. As for the filling, it is important to soak the apricots in boiling water for at least 15 minutes so that they soften adequately. If the apricots are older they may be more dried out and require a longer soak. Once softened and drained, we recommend pulsing the mixture in a food processor until it is smooth and thick. Depending on the strength of your food processor, this may take a few rounds of pulsing and scraping down the sides. As for the large gap between the filling and top crust, try brushing the dough with water before spreading on the filling and rolling the dough tightly. If you dough is very soft, you can fold it over onto itself a few times to help strengthen it a bit. We hope that helps in the future! Kye@KAF
