A very simple recipe full of fruit: the Rustic apricot almond pie ! Easy to make (without a tart mold), with delicious fruit. Quick to prepare, and ideal for filling up on sunshine on your plate...
What I love most about rustic pies? We don't have no need for pie pan ! It's very simple to make, and I would even say that the less perfect it is, the better it is visually! Here I opted for a tart with very ripe apricots, they are even more fragrant and melting when cooked...
What ingredients for this apricot almond tart?
To make the rustic dough, you need:simple ingredients. You probably already have them in your cupboards: flour, almond powder, softened unsalted butter, brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
For the apricot filling, you need the star ingredient: the ripe apricot ! You will also need almond powder, brown sugar (or honey), a little water, an egg yolk and flaked almonds.
How to make an apricot pie?
We start by preparing the pie crust in advance since there is 1 hour of rest in the refrigerator. To do this, mix butter and sugar, then add the other ingredients, finishing with the flour. Form a ball before putting it in the refrigerator. Then roll it out on a floured work surface to make a large disk of dough (between two sheets of baking paper it's very easy).
For the garnish, we cut apricots in quarters (or smaller if you want a more melting result). Pour them into a container with the water and brown sugar (or honey). Coat them well.
Then, sprinkle the dough with almond powder and brown sugar, leaving an empty space of about 4cm on the edge. Then place the apricots in the center. Then simply gently fold the edge of the dough on the fruit, to "imprison" them. Brush the edges of the dough with egg yolk then sprinkle with brown sugar.
All that's left to do is put it in the oven! When it comes out of the oven, you can add some roasted flaked almonds to add a little crunch.
