administratorA light and refreshing tart, quite quick to make. Interestingly, apricots—even the sweetest ones—tend to taste slightly tart after baking. That’s why baked goods with these fruits usually require a good amount of sugar.
Ingredients:
1 package of puff pastry (round)
10–12 ripe apricots
3 eggs
130 g powdered sugar
200 g crème fraîche or thick, sour cream
80 g ground almonds
1 lemon
Cane sugar or brown sugar for sprinkling
Instructions:
Line a tart pan with the puff pastry.
Pit the apricots and cut them into quarters. Arrange them on the tart with the rounded side facing up.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, powdered sugar, and crème fraîche.
Add the ground almonds, the zest of the lemon, and the juice of half a lemon. Mix well.
Pour the egg mixture over the apricots.
Bake at 240ºC (465ºF) for 25 minutes.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the warm tart with cane or brown sugar.
Before serving, you can also dust each slice with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
