Ingredients

For the frangipane:

1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup slivered almonds, slightly toasted
6 tablespoons butter
1 eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
6 fresh or canned apricot halves, pits removed
1/4 cup whole almonds, skin on
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

To make the frangipane, place the almonds and the sugar in a food processor and grind until sandy. Add the butter and continue mixing then add the egg, vanilla, and the flour and mix until smooth.

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

Place it on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and cut out a 9-inch disk. Spread the almond frangipane in the center of the tart leaving a 1-inch border. Firmly place the apricot halves into the frangipane spacing them evenly around the tart. Dot the spaces between the apricots with the whole almonds.

Bake until golden brown on the top and puffy, about 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great dessert, easy to make and easier to eat. I served it with a little vanilla ice cream and everyone raved... about it. I used jared apricots since it is not apricot season yet. I also think it would work with peaches or plums. Thanks this one is a keeper!!!Read more

Delicious and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved the frangipane but both times I made it the topping slid off the puff pastry as it baked. Next time I would put the... pastry in a pie pan with edges to contain the filling.Read more

my mistake - but elegant taste
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Don't try making this with many sheets of phyllo like I did - it doesn't work. Apart from my disastrous pastry,... the remainder of the tart was awesome. Almond flavour clearly evident. I would make again using the called for puff pastry!Read more

Light, subtle, incredible!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The recipe is extremely easy to make, and is incredible. It has a light texture, with subtle hints of almond mixed with the... apricot. It has quickly become one of my favorite desserts to make.Read more
