Apricot and Almond Tart with Honey Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 1/2 cup almond paste
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup apricot preserves
- 4-5 ripe apricots, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, almond flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, pulsing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
- In a bowl, beat together the almond paste, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and softened butter until smooth. Add the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Spread the almond mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- Arrange the apricot slices in a circular pattern over the almond filling. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves over low heat until melted. Brush the melted preserves over the apricots.
- In another small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat. Brush the warm honey over the entire tart for a shiny glaze.
- Slice and serve the apricot and almond tart with honey glaze. Enjoy!
