Apricot Tart with Walnuts and Honey

Apricots are in season in June and it's time to bake an apricot tart! Crispy pastry is easy and quick to make with slight variations using almond flour and homemade plain yogurt. Beautiful and sweet apricot wedges decorate the pastry. Walnuts and honey glaze apricots.

Makes 2 apricot tarts of 9inch or 23cm
Ingredients:

Pastry
100 grams almond meal/flour
150 grams all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of sea salt
100 grams pasture butter at room temperature
2 tablespoons whole milk plain yogurt

Apricot Filling
5-6 large apricots, cut in wedges
4-5 tablespoons honey
walnut pieces or almonds to garnish

Directions:

In a medium bowl mix dry ingredients together then add butter. With a blender or pastry dough cutter blend butter with dry ingredients, so that only small butter clumps are left. Add yogurt and continue mixing until smooth dough ball can be formed. Flour work surface and divide dough into two equal balls. Roll each dough ball into a 0.5cm round and place in a 9inch/23cm pan lined with a parchment paper.

Arrange apricot wedges on the pastry and evenly distribute honey on apricots using a honey dipper or spoon. Garnish with small pieces of walnuts or almonds.

Bake at 400F/ 200C for 20-25 minutes until pastry edges are golden brown and apricots are caramelized. Serve warm or cold with homemade yogurt or ice cream.

Happy baking!
