Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Arrange the sliced apricots in a circular pattern over the almonds.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
- Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the tart has cooled, sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
- Slice and serve the apricot and almond tart at room temperature. Enjoy!
