Make a delicious apricot tart with this easy recipe. A buttery crust filled with sweet apricots creates a perfect summer dessert.
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 2-3 tablespoons ice water
- For the filling:
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg yolk and ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apricots, sugar, honey, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the apricots evenly.
- Assemble the tart:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
- Arrange the apricot filling evenly over the crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the tart to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Use ripe apricots for the best flavor.
- The tart can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
