In a 2 qt saucepan over medium-high heat, simmer applesauce, honey,
brandy if desired, vanilla, and lemon zest until quite thick, about
10 to 15 minutes. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Arrange apples in
concentric circles on top of sauce. In a 1 qt saucepan over
medium-high heat, melt apricot jam, then press through a sieve. Use a
pastry brush to glaze apples with jam. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool
