Recipe
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup apricot jam
- 1 cup apricots, sliced
- ½ cup almonds, sliced
- 2 tbsp apricot jam
- 1 tbsp water
Method
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, cold butter, granulated sugar and cold water. Pulse into a coarse crumb.
- Transfer the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 mins.
- Afterwards, on baking paper, roll the dough into a pizza-size circle, roughly 12 inches.
- Spread the apricot jam evenly over the pastry, leaving a 3cm gap around the edges.
- Arrange the sliced apricots on top of the jam in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the apricots.
- Bake the tart in the oven for 30-35 mins or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a microwave-safe small dish, heat the apricot jam and water for 20 secs in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
- Remove the galette from the oven and let cool for a few mins. Brush the glaze over the apricots and almonds.
- Allow the galette to cool completely before serving with ice cream.
- Tip: Sprinkle some additional sliced almonds on top for added crunch and visual appeal.
