I don't like apricots themselves, and I don't know why. Even the sweetest of them seem to me insipid and uninteresting. Apricots in baking give me stable associations with pies with dried apricots, which I detest, so I've never used them.
But this tart is just something incredible! Moderately sweet, warm taste, very charming appearance, a cup of hot tea in addition - and a dull rainy day, immediately began to play with new colors.)
Need:
2. Make pastry: it will be the same as in my previous apple pie, but I will duplicate here, not to bother anyone. Knead shortcut pastry: chop the butter into small cubes and whisk it with egg yolks and powdered sugar into lush smooth mass. Add flour by portions, the mass will turn into crumbs. Add two spoons of cream and knead the pastry on a floured table.
3. Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with flour. Roll the dough out and form it in shape. Tip! I have some problems with this dough, because my hands are usually very warm, so it's very difficult to roll the dough out, no matter how much I did add flour. If you also have this "problem", just simply lay out the dough into baking dish without rolling, and then press the pastry and fill the form with your hands or bottom of the cup. Pin the pastry with a fork and move it into the refrigerator.
4. Crush a handful of almonds in a blender or coffee grinder: you can make almond flour or just chop them. My blender is not very powerful, so some of the major pieces still remain. Beat all the ingredients for cream in the lush mass, including the "treated" almonds. Put the cream in the baking dish with the pastry and smoothed it into a thin layer. Put apricots on the top of it and send in to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 45-55 minutes. Honey can easily begin to boil, but it's not as scary as I thought.)
5. Cool the finished tart, sprinkle it with walnuts, decorate with mint or tarragon and serve with tea and good mood.)
Here comes some photos for addition!
