Brandied Apricot Tart

Canned apricots are the shortcut that makes this Brandied Apricot Tart doable all year round. Glaze the apricots with preserves and brandy, then add a sprinkle of toasted slivered almonds for texture and crunch. This simple apricot tart is an elegant treat all by itself or served with freshly whipped cream.

To get started, preheat your oven. Make a tart crust while the oven preheats. Once you form a dough ball, press it onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased fluted tart pan. I prefer to use the one with a removable bottom for easy unmolding. Pre-bake the crust until lightly browned. Combine the apricot preserves and a few tablespoons of brandy in a saucepan over low heat. Heat until melted. Then brush the glaze over the crust and arrange the apricot halves on top, cut side up. Glaze the apricots too. Bake until the crust is golden brown. Let the tart cool before serving.

Using a knife or a pastry cutter, cut in ½ cup cold butter until crumbly.
4	Add egg yolk	1
Add 1 egg yolk.
5	Add milk	2
Gradually add just enough milk, tossing with a fork, to form a dough ball that doesn’t crumble. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and add 1 tablespoon more only if needed to form a ball.

Evenly press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is lightly brown. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. Reduce the heat to 350 ℉.
8	Prepare glaze	2
In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup apricot preserves and 2 tablespoons apricot brandy. Cook, stirring, over low heat until melted.
9	Brush with glaze	2
Brush 2 tablespoons of the glaze over the crust. Arrange the apricot halves over the crust cut side up and brush with the remaining glaze.
10	Bake	20
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
11	Cool
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
