For the pastry
-
115g plain flour

50g butter

25g caster sugar

2 eggs (just the yolks)
For the topping

25g ground almonds

8 apricots (and stoned or a tin of drained apricots), halved

2 eggs

Mix the pastry ingredients together either in a food processor or by hand until they form a ball - chill for 30 minutes
-
Preheat oven 200'C/Gas mark 6

Roll out the pastry to line your flan tin - if the pastry is too crumbly to roll then slice it with a knife and line the tin with the slices and push the slices together until the whole tin is lined
-
Prick the base and sides and bake in a preheated oven for around 10-15 minutes or until the base is firm
-
Sprinkle the almonds onto the base and lay the apricots on top, cut side down
-
Beat together the sugar, eggs, creme fraiche and vanilla essence
-
Pour over the apricots and sprinkle the top with a little extra sugar
-
Turn up the preheated oven to 220'C/Gas mark 7 and bake the tart for 25 minutes or golden brown
-
Serve warm or cold with creme fraiche, custard or single cream
