Country Apricot Tart

Recipe Description

I love this Country Apricot Tart  as a dessert recipe because it’s not over the top. This humble pie is easy to make and really uses just a handful of pantry ingredients.

A simple crust centered with a citrus apricot or peach center and baked until golden and gooey, it really is simply delicious. I like to serve it with fresh cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream in the summer!

To make Country Apricot Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
