Ingredients

Servings: 24
  • 750 g Flour
  • 600 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 450 g Butter
  • 3 Eggs (size M)
  • 2 kg Apricots
  • 1 Vanilla pod
  • 300 ml Apricot nectar
  • 3 packages Pudding powder "Vanilla Flavor"
  • 3-4 Tbsp Breadcrumbs
  • 175 g Icing sugar
  • 125 g Whipped cream
  • 30 g Hazelnut flakes
  • 7-10 Tbsp Fat and flour
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Put flour, 450 g sugar, vanillin sugar, butter in flakes and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Knead with the dough hook of the hand mixer. Then quickly work into a smooth dough with your hands. Cover and chill for about 1 hour. In the meantime wash, halve, stone and quarter the apricots. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp.

  2. 2

    Bring 150 ml apricot nectar, apricots, 150 g sugar, vanilla pulp and pod to the boil in a large pot. Steam the apricots for 6-8 minutes. Stir pudding powder with 150 ml nectar until smooth. Pour into the apricots and bring to the boil again while stirring for about 2 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod, fill the compote into a bowl and let it cool down. Grease the fat pan and dust with flour. Roll out 2/3 of the dough in it and press the rim up (the dough should protrude a little all around). Sprinkle the base with breadcrumbs. Spread apricot compote on top. Roll out the rest of the dough into a rectangle (32 x 39 cm) and lay it carefully on the compote. Fold over and press down any protruding edges. Bake in the preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) on the lower rack for 45-55 minutes.
