Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup softened unsalted butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest, finely grated
1 cup fine-quality apricot preserves (11 oz)
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Reduce speed to low and mix in flour, salt, and lemon zest until mixture just forms a dough.
  • Shape dough into 2 balls, 1 slightly larger than the other.
  • Flatten each ball into a 5-inch disk, then wrap each in wax paper and chill 30 minutes.
  • Stir together preserves, lemon juice, and extract in a small bowl.
  • Roll out thicker piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) between 2 sheets of wax paper into an 11-inch round.
  • Remove top sheet of paper and invert dough into a 9- by 1-inch fluted round tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • Peel off paper and fit dough into pan, trimming side to 1/4 inch below top of rim.
  • Chill shell.
  • Roll out remaining dough in same manner and remove top sheet of paper, then cut dough into 10 (1-inch-wide) strips.
  • Slide strips on wax paper onto a baking sheet and chill until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Spread apricot filling in tart shell and arrange 5 strips across filling (about 1 inch apart), trimming excess dough at ends of strips.
  • Arrange remaining 5 strips on top (about 1 inch apart) to form a lattice (do not weave), trimming ends.
  • Press ends onto edge of tart shell and bake crostata in middle of oven until golden, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Cool completely in pan on a rack.
