Recipe for Apricot and Frangipane Tart
No Reviews
I'm sharing my recipe for apricot tart with frangipane. A soft filling, crunchy sliced almonds, this fruity dessert is a delight!
Shortcrust pastry
140 Flour
50 Butter
40 Sugar
1 Egg
1 pinch Salt
Garnish
Well-sweetened apricot
55 Almond powder
50 Sugar
30 Butter
1 Egg
1 Sliced almond
Almond extract
Directions
1
Prepare the dough: in a mixing bowl (or the bowl of a food processor for convenience), combine the flour, salt, and diced butter. Work with your fingertips until the mixture is sandy and the butter is well incorporated. Make a well in the sandy mixture, crack the egg into it, and add the sugar.
2
Mix all the ingredients again, then form a ball with the dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare the frangipane by beating the softened butter with the sugar until you achieve a creamy consistency. Add the flour and almond extract while continuing to mix. Incorporate the egg and mix again until the preparation is smooth.
3
Wash the apricots. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Take the dough out of the fridge, roll it into a circle on a piece of parchment paper (be careful, it sticks; add flour if necessary) and place it in the pan.
4
To finish, fill the tart base with frangipane, cut the apricots in half, remove the pits, and place them cut side down against the frangipane (so the rounded side is facing you). Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Excellent tart. For the fruits, especially when they are out of season, I recommend light syrup canned apricots that I bought at the supermarket. These are unpeeled apricots, cut evenly into quarters. Very convenient and ideal for a tart. Yum. -

Excellent!! Delicious! Everyone loved it! My suggestion: I used canned apricots, made a reduction of the syrup with a bit of lemon that I then used to glaze the tart once baked, result: a very beautiful tart!! -

Excellent! Apricot and frangipane pair very well together, will make again. My suggestion: Also great with puff pastry. If you use store-bought pastry, you should double the amount of frangipane and use about 12 apricots. -

Meh... Too few fruits, but nice dough. Sprinkle with sugar and fine tapioca, 1 tablespoon of each, cover with a lot of fruits, scatter with pieces of butter and bake. Sweeten again after cooking, and enjoy warm. Pure bliss! -

It's a very good idea to add almond cream; it makes the tart moist.
