A delicious tart filled with fresh apricots
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp ice water
- 1 pound apricots pitted and halved, fresh
- 1/4 cup apricot jam
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice water. Add the egg mixture to the food processor and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
- In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and lemon juice over low heat until melted and combined.
- Arrange the apricot halves in the tart shell and brush them with the melted apricot jam mixture. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top.
- Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the apricots are tender.
- Allow the tart to cool before serving. Enjoy!

Yum! I added some cinnamon to the apricots, made it even better. So good!
This tart was delightful! The apricots were juicy and it looked amazing. My family loved it. Will definitely make again!
Made this for my grandma’s birthday. She loved it! Thanks for the recipe!
I used canned apricots instead of fresh ones. Still turned out pretty good. Not the same, but hey, it worked.
Too many steps! I just wanted a quick snack, this took forever to make.
I had trouble with the dough. It was too crumbly and I can’t seem to get it to come together. What did I do wrong?
I think there should be more jam for flavor. Tasted a bit bland even with the apricots.
Tastes alright, but kinda dry… I didn’t get the jam melted properly, so maybe I messed it up. Lol.
Yeah, I also found it tricky to get the jam right! Maybe next time try warming it a bit longer? It could help with spreading. 😅
Super easy and quick! No need for jam if you have fresh apricots, right? Definitely making this again.
Easy to follow instructions! My kids helped, and we all had a blast in the kitchen. 🌟
Looks good but isn’t apricot jam just for toast? 🤔
That sounds amazing! I love that your kids helped. Cooking together is the best! 🌈
This apricot tart recipe is amazing! I made it for a family gathering and everyone loved it. It’s so sweet and delicious!
Looked great in the pic but mine didn’t turn out so nice. What’s the secret to keeping the crust pretty?
I found the dough a bit tricky to work with, but the tart turned out fine. Next time, I might add more sugar to the apricots.
Not a fan. This tart was too sweet for my taste, and the almonds didn’t add much. Won’t try again.
Not a fan of apricots, but the crust was nice. My kids loved it though!
