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:
Prepare a baking sheet for baking by greasing and lightly flour.
In a medium bowl, mix the ¾ cup flour, cornmeal, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add the butter and crumble until the mix becomes the size of small peas.
Add 1 tablespoon cold milk and gently toss the mixture. Continue adding 1 tablespoon at a time (3-4 in total) of milk, until the dough becomes moistened and crumbly.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 7-8 times, until the dough sticks together. On the baking sheet, flatten the dough into a 12-inch circle, ready for baking.
In a bowl, combine the ⅓ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour and nutmeg (or cinnamon).
Slowly stir in the apricots or peaches, and the lemon juice.
Pour the apricot mixture into the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border and fold the edges over the filling.
Brush the top of the pie with 2 tablespoons milk and bake in the oven at 375°F for about 40 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling cooked and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
