• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 500 grams Apricots
• 120 grams Apricot jam
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and rub into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Beat the egg and add it to the mixture along with the cold water. Mix until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, wash and pit the apricots. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.

Step 7

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a tart pan (around 9 inches in diameter).

Step 8

Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess dough.

Step 9

Spread the apricot jam evenly on the base of the tart.

Step 10

Arrange the apricot slices on top of the jam in a circular pattern.

Step 11

Brush the apricots with lemon juice to enhance their flavor and prevent browning.

Step 12

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the apricots are tender.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
