  5. Serve warm with cream.

Chef's Tip

  • If you like the fruity sweetness of this tart, why not experiment with peaches or nectarines and almonds?
  • You could always get creative with your tart toppings and consider using custard, chocolate syrup, or almond-flavoured ice cream as your pièce de resistance.
  • If fresh apricots aren’t in season, you can always use canned apricots. However, it’s important that you carefully dry off each one before laying them in the pastry.

Now, how easy was that?
