Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup whole milk
1 2-inch piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Pastry Crust Dough
1/2 cup blanched whole almonds
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch of salt
3 15.25-ounce cans unpeeled apricot halves in heavy syrup, well drained
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Pour milk into small saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Whisk yolks, 3 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch in bowl to blend. Gradually whisk milk mixture into yolk mixture. Return to pan. Whisk over medium heat until custard thickens and boils, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl; cool. Discard vanilla bean. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out pastry on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Press crust into pan. Trim edges to 1/2-inch overhang; fold in and press, forming double-thick sides. Freeze crust until firm, about 20 minutes. Bake until light golden, about 20 minutes. Cool. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Finely grind almonds and powdered sugar in processor. Add cooled custard; blend using on/off turns. Blend in butter, then whole egg, extract and salt. Pour into crust; smooth top. Arrange apricot halves, round side up, atop filling.
  • Bake tart until filling is set and golden, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven. Drizzle honey over. Return to oven for 3 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
