Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Pulse almonds and 1/3 cup sugar in a food processor until very finely ground. Add egg and pulse to combine. Add butter, almond extract (if using), vanilla extract, salt, and 1 Tbsp. flour; pulse until almond cream is smooth.
- Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface just to smooth out any creases.
- If you're using a package of pastry that has 2 sheets, stack and roll out to a 1/4"-1/8"-thick rectangle.
- If your package contains a single 16x10" sheet of puff pastry, halve it crosswise and roll out one half on a lightly floured surface until rectangle is 1/4"-1/8" thick; save remaining half for another use. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fold over edges of pastry to make a 1/2" border around all sides. Prick surface all over with a fork (this keeps the pastry from rising too much when baked and helps it cook through). Spread almond cream over pastry, staying inside borders. (Chill dough in the freezer for a few minutes if it becomes too soft to work with.) Set apricots, cut sides up, on top of almond cream. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
- Bake galette until pastry is golden brown and puffed, 15-20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through and apricots are softened and browned in spots, 15-20 minutes longer.
- Do Ahead:
- Almond cream can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

BAKED APPLES STUFFED WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS
Serve these tender apples with a sweet-tart filling alongside roasted turkey or pork, a delicious pairing with the apples' hint of cardamom - though you could substitute cinnamon. They make a great stuffing alternative for those who don't eat wheat or gluten. They're also tasty for breakfast, snack or dessert -- perhaps with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut 1/2 inch off the top of the apples and reserve tops. Use a paring knife or spoon to hollow out the apples, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick wall and base. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add cranberries, honey, cardamom, dates and orange juice and zest and cook until the cranberries begin to collapse and liquid thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in almonds.
- Spoon cranberry mixture into apples then replace the apple tops. Put into a small baking dish filled with 1/4 inch water, cover with foil and bake until tender, 15 to 30 minutes (depending on apples).
- Uncover, and carefully pour off the water and continue baking until very tender and golden, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine well the apricots, the walnuts, the brown sugar, and the butter. Core the apples, making each opening large enough to hold half the apricot mixture, peel the top third of each apple, and fill the cavities with the apricot mixture. Arrange the apples in a deep 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe baking dish so that they do not touch one another or the sides of the dish, pour the orange juice around them, and microwave the apples, covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap, on high power (100%) for 7 minutes. Pierce the plastic wrap with the tip of a sharp knife and let the apples stand, covered, for 5 minutes, or until they are tender.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape well during cooking, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
- Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the apples in a single layer so that they can brown properly.
- Use a non-stick pan: This will help prevent the apples from sticking and burning.
- Cook the apples over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
- Add the apricots and almonds towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the apples warm or at room temperature: They can be enjoyed on their own or served with yogurt, ice cream, or pancakes.
Conclusion:
This Actifried Apples with Apricots and Almonds recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy apples. The apples are caramelized and tender, and the apricots and almonds add a sweet and crunchy contrast. This dish is perfect for a fall dessert or snack, and it can also be served as a side dish with pork or chicken.
