Apricot and Almond Tart

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Knead the flour, sugar, egg and butter in small pieces first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth dough. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes. Wash, halve and stone the apricots.

2. 2

   Stir the jam until smooth. Grease a square tart tin (approx. 22 x 22 cm). Roll out the dough squarely (approx. 25 x 25 cm) on a work surface dusted with flour. Line the tin with the dough, cut off any protruding edges.

3. 3

   Put half of the jam on the bottom and spread it. Spread the apricots with the cut surface facing upwards. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) on the bottom shelf for approx. 30 minutes.

4. 4

   After 10 minutes, spread the remaining jam on the apricots. Sprinkle the flaked almonds on the tart 5 minutes before the end of the baking time and finish baking. Let it cool down on a cake rack. Dust the tarte with icing sugar and decorate with lavender flowers.

5. 5

   Whipped cream is delicious with it.
