This Apricot and Pistachios Tart is super easy and one of my favorite recipes to make when the apricots are sweet and in season (and also on sale). Take a shortcut with store-bought puff pastry, and this simple but amazingly delicious fruit tart can be on the table in just about 40 minutes. You’ll love this simple and beautiful dessert! A flaky puff pastry topped with pistachios and fresh apricots and baked to golden perfection. These fruit tarts are best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

To make the Apricot and Pistachios Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Halve the apricots and remove the pits. Cut the apricots into thin wedges.
Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 4 even rectangles. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet. Using a paring knife score a ½-inch border around the puff pastry edge without cutting all the way through. Poke the center with a fork.
Roughly chop ⅓ cup pistachios. Set aside half of the chopped pistachios and chop the remaining half into fine pieces.
Sprinkle finely chopped pistachios and 1 tablespoon demerara sugar over the pastry, except the border.
Arrange the apricot wedges over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the reserved roughly chopped pistachios.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and browned lightly.
In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons apricot jam and 2 teaspoons hot water.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the glaze over the apricots and pastry edges. Return to the oven and bake for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve the tarts warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I made the Apricot and Pistachios Tart last weekend, and it was simply exceptional. The puff pastry was so flaky, and the apricots were perfectly sweet. We enjoyed it warm with vanilla ice cream, and it reminded me of summer picnics from my childhood. A definite keeper for our dessert rotation.
