Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- for filling:
- Combine 1 pound apricots and 3 tablespoons water in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring often. Cover; cook over medium heat until apricots are almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in sugar; cook uncovered until apricots are very tender, liquid evaporates and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Cool filling slightly. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
- for crust:
- Mix flour, sugar and salt in medium bowl to blend. Add butter. Rub in with fingertips until coarse crumbs form. Using fork, mix in yolks. Transfer to work surface. Knead gently just until dough comes together. Divide dough into 2 pieces, using 2/3 of dough for 1 piece and remaining 1/3 for second piece. Flatten into disks. Wrap each disk in plastic. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Press larger dough disk onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Roll out second dough disk on parchment paper to 8-inch round. Cut dough into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Chill while filling tart. Spread apricot preserves evenly over bottom of unbaked crust. Spoon apricot filling over preserves. Arrange 1/2 pound apricot wedges atop filling. Arrange dough strips atop filling to form lattice. Trim ends of strips at tart pan edges. Brush lattice with egg glaze.
- Bake tart until crust is golden brown and fruit just bubbles, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool on rack 45 minutes. Using small knife, gently loosen tart from pan sides. Remove sides. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use a combination of fruits for a variety of flavors and colors.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use a fork or two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into bars. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the type of fruit you are using.
- Let the bars cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the bars from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Lattice fruit bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a variety of fruits to choose from and a simple lattice topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give lattice fruit bars a try!
