Ingredients

• 150 grams raw almonds
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams coconut oil, solid
• 50 grams cane sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 500 grams fresh apricots
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Start by preparing the crust: Place the raw almonds into a food processor and blend until finely ground.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour, solid coconut oil, cane sugar, and salt to the food processor with the almonds. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add in cold water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing between additions, until the dough holds together but is not sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, prepare the apricot filling: Pit and slice the apricots into wedges. Place them in a bowl and add the lemon juice, maple syrup, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the apricots evenly.

Step 7

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim off any excess.

Step 8

Arrange the apricot slices over the bottom of the tart crust in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly.

Step 9

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.

Step 10

While the tart bakes, prepare the glaze by heating the apricot jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth.

Step 11

Once the tart is out of the oven, brush the apricots gently with the apricot glaze to give a shiny finish.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan before removing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
