Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar (for frangipane)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 4–5 medium fresh apricots, pitted and sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp turbinado sugar
  • Optional: 2 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
  • Egg wash: 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  2. Slowly drizzle in ice water, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Gather into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the almond frangipane: Beat softened butter with sugar until creamy. Add egg and almond extract, beating until smooth. Fold in almond flour until fully combined. Set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Roll out chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  6. Spread almond frangipane evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  7. Arrange sliced apricots over frangipane in overlapping or rustic pattern. Sprinkle turbinado sugar and optional toasted sliced almonds on top.
  8. Fold dough edges over filling, pleating to create rustic tart. Brush crust with egg wash.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and frangipane is set and slightly puffed. Apricots should be tender with a bit of bite.
  10. Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack. Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky crust. Do not overwork dough to avoid toughness. Chill frangipane if too runny before assembling. Tent crust with foil if edges brown too fast. Apricots release juices that soak into crust and filling, adding flavor.
