  In large bowl, mix apricots, granulated sugar, flour, ginger and cinnamon. Fill pastry-lined pie plate with apricot mixture. Dot with butter. Top with second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge. Cut slits in several places in top crust to allow steam to escape. If desired, use reserved dough to create shapes (leaves, flower petals etc.) to decorate top of pie. Lightly brush top of pie with water. Sprinkle with turbinado (raw) sugar.
