Zubereitung von Apricot Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pastry dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the apricot puree: Combine the apricots, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apricots are soft and have released their juices (about 10-15 minutes).
- Puree the mixture using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth.
- Roll out half of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer to the plate and trim the edges.
- Spread the apricot puree evenly over the pastry crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips to create a lattice topping. Arrange the strips over the apricot filling.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
