Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3–4 tbsp cold water
- 2 cups fresh apricots, sliced
- 1/2 cup almond cream (frangipane)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by mixing flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water until the dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Make the almond cream by combining ground almonds, sugar, softened butter, and eggs in a bowl until smooth.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Spread almond cream over the center of the dough, leaving a two-inch border. Arrange sliced apricots on top.
- Fold the edges of the dough over some apricots to form a border and brush with egg wash for shine. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
