How to Make Almond And Apricot Tart
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom (or use a regular tart pan).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/4 cup ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to the prepared tart pan and trim the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool completely.
- Spread 1 cup apricot jam evenly over the cooled crust.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Fold in 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the zest of 1 lemon.
- Spread the almond mixture evenly over the apricot jam.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown.
- If desired, arrange drained apricot halves on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Let the tart cool completely before serving.
