Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy apricots for the best flavor. If using fresh apricots, pit and slice them before using.
- If using dried apricots, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to soften before using.
- Don't overwork the pastry dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make the dough easier to work with.
- Brush the edges of the tart with egg wash before baking. This will help the crust to brown.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature.
