Apricot Tart / Tarte aux Abricots


By Akal's Saappadu (Visit website)





Dear readers, hope all of you are doing good? As for me, I ?m simply enjoying the spring break with my family, appreciating the pleasant climate, the colourful blooms and the fresh fruits of the season?



I love Apricots as they are but the first time I tasted them in tarts, I was a bit surprised of the sour taste it rendered.... amateurs of tangy tarts would surely appreciate this one? In fact, apricots become very sour after being cooked.



The tangy taste of the baked apricots blends so perfectly with the sweet almond mixture which makes this tart ideal for a delightful dessert or enjoy simply with a cup of tea. Have a nice time!!!



Ingredients/ Ingrédients:



230g pastry dough / 230g de pâte sablée

800g fresh apricots, halved and deseeded/ 800g d?abricots frais coupés en deux et dénoyautés



For the filling/ pour la frangipane:

100g softened butter, cut into small cubes/ 100g de beurre mou, coupés en petits dés

100g sugar+ 100g for the topping / 100g sucre en poudre + 100g pour saupoudrer

100g powdered almonds/ 100g d?amandes en poudre

2 eggs/ 2 ?ufs

20ml Rum/ 20ml Rhum



Method/ La préparation:

Preheat the oven to 180°C / Pré-chauffer le four à 180°C.



Prepare the cream/ La frangipane:



In a bowl, whip butter and 100g of sugar until it becomes creamy. Add the powdered almonds and continue whipping. Add the eggs one by one followed by the rum while whipping until it becomes a homogeneous mixture.

Battre 100g de sucre et le beurre, dans un bol, jusqu?à l?obtention d?une consistance crémeuse. Ajouter l?amande en poudre et continuer à battre. Ajouter les ?ufs un par un, puis le rhum, tout en continuant de battre et jusqu?à ce que le mélange devient homogène.

Assembling the tart/ la préparation de la tarte :



Grease a tart tray with some butter or line it with a baking sheet. Place / roll out the dough to fit the tray and prick the top with a fork.

Beurrer un moule à tarte ou tapisser le avec une feuille de papier cuisson. Etaler la pâte sur le moule et piquez le fond avec une fourchette.



(You may also sprinkle some bread crumbs/ fine semolina on the dough to avoid any soggy crust/ Tapisser la pâte avec un peu de chapelure ou de la semoule fine pour éviter une pâte molle)



Pour the almond mixture over it and spread it uniformly on the dough. Arrange the halved apricots (skin side down) on top of the mixture and sprinkle the rest of the sugar.

Garnir le moule avec la crème d?amande et ranger les abricots (côtés bombés sur la pâte) et saupoudrer avec le reste de sucre.



Place in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes until the cream is set and the crust becomes golden brown/ Enfourner pendant 30 à 45 minutes jusqu?à ce que la crème est cuite et que les bords sont dorés.



Remove it from the tray and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing / Démouler et laisser refroidir sur une grille avant de couper.



PS:

Glazing for the tart (I omitted it) / Décoration de la tarte (je ne l'ai pas fait ici): 



Heat gently 4 or 5 tablespoons of apricot jam; let it come to room temperature; brush the top of the hot tart with this and decorate with some roasted sliced almonds .

Faire chauffer à feu doux quelques cuillérées de confiture d?abricots. Laisser tiédir et puis, à la fin de la cuisson, napper la tarte avec ce liquide et décorer avec des amandes effilées préalablement toastées.



Enjoy / Bon appétit!
