Instrucciones
 

  • For the crust: mix the flour and sugar. Add cold butter and crumble it with your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and form the dough. If necessary, add cold water, a teaspoon at a time. Let it rest for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F/ 180C. Roll out the pastry and place it in a 9-inch springform tart pan. Blind bake at 350F for 15 minutes, then an additional 5-10 minutes. You can find a step-by-step guide on "How to Make a Perfect Pie Crust?"
  • For the frangipane: beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well. Stir in the almond and vanilla extracts, followed by the almond and all-purpose flour. Mix until well combined.
  • For assembly: spread the frangipane over the tart base and arrange the apricots on top. Brush the apricots with syrup or honey and bake in the oven at 350F/ 180C for 40 minutes or until the frangipane is firm and golden. If desired, sprinkle with pistachios or almonds. Serve at room temperature.
