Step by step recipe
Step 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.

Step 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.
Step 3 - ⌛ 10 min.
Over the dough, spread out 200 g almond cream in an even layer, put in the refrigerator until cooking.
Step 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 (see how to).

Step 5 - ⌛ 5 min.
Arrange the apricots halves on the almond cream, round side upwards, and press down lightly.
Step 6 - ⌛ 35 min.
Cook for 30/35 minutes. If making biscuits, take them out as soon as they are golden, after about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Remove tart as soon as the almond cream is nicely browned, leave to cool on a rack.
Step 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.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, folded in a plastic film.
