Apricot & Almond Tarte

When the shelves of my local community market are filled with ripe apricots, I find myself irresistibly drawn to creating an apricot and almond tart. It transports me back to my childhood home, where my grandparents owned orchards abundant with peaches and apricots. We would gather the fruits and transform them into delicious jams and pies. The combination of tangy apricots and delicate almonds always seemed like a match made in heaven.

This year, I decided to venture into culinary innovation. Using almond butter as a pie crust turned out to be a resounding success and will now be a staple in my tart recipes. It adds the perfect texture and imparts a delightful flavor without overpowering the tart itself.

This delightful dessert harmonizes juicy apricots, a buttery almond crust, and a luscious almond filling, resulting in a truly heavenly treat. Whether enjoyed as a dessert or a delightful afternoon snack, be prepared to dazzle your taste buds and impress your guests with this irresistible Apricot Almond Tart. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to embark on this unforgettable dessert experience!

Ingredients

  • 10 Apricots
  • 1 Cup of Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 Cup of Almond Flour
  • 1/2 Cup of Rice Flour
  • 1/2 Cup of Soft Butter

The recipe

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the Almond Butter and water until you achieve a smooth paste with a liquid-like consistency.
