Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Dried apricots
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 4 Fresh apricots
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom using coconut oil.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine dried apricots, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 6

Cook for about 15 minutes until apricots are soft. Remove from heat and blend the mixture until smooth.

Step 7

Return the apricot puree to the saucepan, add cornstarch, and cook over low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Once thickened, allow the apricot filling to cool slightly before spreading it evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 9

Slice the fresh apricots thinly and arrange decoratively over the apricot filling.

Step 10

Sprinkle the top with slivered almonds for an added crunch.

Step 11

Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to set.

Step 12

Remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
