Time 9h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
¼ cup white sugar, or to taste
3 tablespoons rum
cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed, divided
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into chunks
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
½ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix together apricots, white sugar, and rum in a bowl. Cover and let macerate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a 12-inch square of parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.
  • Place flour, cold butter, dark brown sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and ginger into a food processor. Blend in short bursts until butter is in pea-sized lumps.
  • Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a bowl; pour into butter-flour mixture and continue to blend until it forms a soft dough. Form dough into a smooth ball, using additional flour as needed.
  • Pat dough ball into a thick circle onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Drain apricots, reserving juice in a bowl. Spread apricots evenly on top of dough circle; draw edges of dough up over fruit.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crostata is baked through, golden on top, and fruit is soft, about 45 minutes.
  • While crostata is baking, pour reserved apricot juice and orange juice into a saucepan. Bring mixture to a simmer; cook syrup until it has reduced by 2/3.
  • Remove crostata from the oven. Brush syrup on top. Let cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
