Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 15 min.
Spread or roll out 300 g Sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée), line the tart mould/circle, and prick all over the base.
Trim off the excess dough.
Trim off the excess dough.
Stage 2 - 5 min.
If you have any dough left over, you can cut it out in small shapes to make biscuits which you can top with an almond, a pistachio or a simply pinch of caster sugar.
Stage 3 - 10 min.
Over the dough, spread out 200 g Almond cream or frangipane in an even layer, put in the refrigerator until cooking.
Stage 4 - 30 min.
If you can face it, peel the apricots, like for tomatos by scalding them. This peeling has two advantages: the apricots are more pleasant to eat, and they are less acid while cooking.
Preheat the oven to 200°C or 392°F.
Divide each apricot in half, and discard the stones.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Arrange the apricots halves on the almond cream, round side upwards, and press down lightly.
Stage 6 - 35 min.
Cook for 30/35 minutes. If making biscuits, take them out as soon as they are golden, after about 10 minutes.
Stage 7
Remove tart as soon as the almond cream is nicely browned, leave to cool on a rack.
Stage 8 - 5 min.
If possible "glaze" the top with a pastrycook's glaze or a little apricot jam.
Remarks
The acidity of apricots and the sweetness of the almond cream go very very well together.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour.
