ALMOND APRICOT TART

- To make the tart, on a floured work surface pass your rolling pin over the pastry just to flatten any ridges.

Steps:
- First, make the marzipan. Mix both sugars with the ground almonds and vanilla in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle. Reserve 1 tsp of the beaten egg in a small dish, then tip the rest into the well along with the lemon juice. Mix everything well, then mix in the cream, 1 tbsp at a time, until the mixture is spreadable (you may not need all the cream). Chill for 20 mins if it's too warm to spread properly, or greasy. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, then score it lightly around the edges to create a 1.5cm border - be careful not to cut all the way through. Lightly score a diamond pattern over the middle to keep the pastry from rising in the centre during cooking.
- Spread the marzipan over the middle of the pastry, leaving the border clear (see tip, below). Top with the apricots, cut-side down. Brush the border with the reserved beaten egg, then bake for 15 mins. Scatter over the flaked almonds. Bake for 5-10 mins more until the almonds are golden and the pastry has cooked through.
- Warm the jam over a low heat, then brush it over the apricots. Cut into squares and serve warm with ice cream or cream. Will keep chilled for up to two days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat, and set aside on a floured surface. Roll dough out to a 14-inch circle, and place on paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss apricots together with sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and zest. Place apricot mixture on the center of the dough. Spread out, leaving a 2-inch border of dough; turn ends of apricots upward. Fold the dough up and over the apricots, making a crease or fold every 4 to 5 inches to enclose fruit and prevent juices from seeping out.
- Brush dough thoroughly with heavy cream; sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 minutes, and lower oven temperature to 375 degrees, rotating baking sheet 45 degrees. Continue to bake until tart is evenly browned and apricots are bubbling, about 25 minutes more.
- Transfer tart from baking sheet to a cooling rack, and cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe apricots for the best flavor.
- If apricots are not in season, you can use frozen or canned apricots, but fresh apricots will always yield the best results.
- To easily remove the apricot pits, cut the apricots in half and twist the halves in opposite directions.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the almonds thinly. This will help them toast evenly.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the excess dough around the edges.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day.
Conclusion:
This easy apricot tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that's perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy apricots are perfectly complemented by the buttery crust and the crunchy almonds. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious tart that will impress your friends and family.
