Apricot and Almond Tart with Honey Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 4-5 ripe apricots, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the cold water and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of almond meal, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to make the almond filling.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough.
- Arrange the sliced apricots on top of the almond filling in a decorative pattern.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the top of the tart.
- Slice and serve the apricot and almond tart with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
