Time 5h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup almond meal
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter
3 tablespoons buttermilk
10 egg yolks
⅔ cup white sugar
⅔ cup cornstarch
1 quart milk
3 sprigs basil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
15 fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
1 cup apricot jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, almond meal, 1 tablespoon sugar, lemon zest, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is in pea-sized crumbles. Stir in buttermilk until dough comes together.
  • Press dough evenly over the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 12x16-inch tart pan or sheet pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Whisk egg yolks, 2/3 cup sugar, and cornstarch together in a heavy-bottomed pot. Whisk in milk. Add whole basil sprigs.
  • Cook milk mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to steam, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Remove basil sprigs with tongs and discard. Whisk vigorously until custard thickens, about 1 minute.
  • Set a wire mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour custard into the strainer; use a rubber spatula to press it through the strainer into the bowl. Whisk vanilla extract into the custard. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
  • Pour cooled custard over crust; spread evenly to edges of crust with a rubber spatula. Arrange apricot slices on top.
  • Scoop apricot jam into a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until melted, about 1 minute. Brush jam over apricot slices.

Time 1h21m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

13 ounces (about 5) ripe apricots
1 prebaked 9 1/2-inch tart shell, recipe follows
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1/4 cup (1 ounce) sliced almonds
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Slice the apricots 3/4-inch thick, discarding the pits. Place the apricots in the prebaked tart shell in a decorative pattern. Set aside.
  • Combine the sugar, egg yolks, and cream in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until combined. Stir in the flour and salt. Carefully pour the creamy mixture over the apricots.
  • Sprinkle the almonds over the top of the tart. Bake until the custard is almost completely set, about 35 to 40 minutes. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, mix the egg and cream together. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Using the paddle attachment on low speed, mix in the butter until it is the size of small peas. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg mixture. Mix the dough just until it is no longer dry looking. It will still be loose and crumbly at this point.
  • Place the dough on the work surface. With your hands, combine and form the dough into a single ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm but still malleable.
  • Roll out dough and fit it into a 9 1/2-inch tart shell. Prebake the shell in a preheated 325 degree F oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 (9 1/2-inch) tart shell

Categories     Dessert     Bake     Picnic     Apricot     Summer     Party     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pastry
8 tablespoons (4 ounces; 12 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon (180 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely ground unblanched almonds
For filling
1/2 cup (25 cl) crème fraîche or heavy (whipping) cream
1 large egg lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons full-flavored honey, such as lavender
1 tablespoon superfine flour, such as Wondra
About 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) fresh apricots, pitted and halved (do not peel)
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch (23cm) fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Set aside.
  • Make the pastry:
  • In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and the sugar, and using a wooden spoon, stir to blend. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to form a soft, cookie-like dough. Transfer the dough to the center of the buttered pan. Using the tips of your fingers, evenly press the pastry along the bottom and up the sides of the pan. The pastry will be quite thin.
  • Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake unitl the dough is slightly puffy and set, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle the ground almonds over the bottom of the crust. (This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.)
  • Meanwhile make the filling:
  • In a medium-size bowl, combine the crème fraîche, egg, extracts and honey and whisk to blend. Whisk in the flour.
  • Pour the filling evenly over the pastry. Starting just inside the edge of the pan, neatly overlap the halved apricots, cut side up, at an angle. Arrange in two or three concentric circles, working toward the center. Fill in the center with the remaining apricots.
  • Place the tart pan on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and bake until the filling is firm and the pastry is a deep golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. The apricots will shrivel slightly. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Place the tart on a rack to cool. Sprinkle again with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use ripe, juicy apricots. If apricots are not in season, you can substitute them with other seasonal fruits like peaches, plums, or nectarines.
  • When making the basil custard, use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but reduce the amount by half.
  • To create a crispy and flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help create a more tender crust.
  • To prevent the custard from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in the hot milk. This will help the eggs to gradually heat up and prevent them from scrambling.
  • Be careful not to overcook the custard. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but it should not be too firm.
  • For a more elegant presentation, you can brush the edges of the tart crust with an egg wash before baking. This will give the crust a golden brown color.

Conclusion:

The Tieton Apricot Tart with Basil Custard is a delightful dessert that combines the flavors of sweet apricots, creamy custard, and aromatic basil. With its flaky crust and vibrant filling, this tart is sure to impress your guests. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or as a simple treat, this tart is sure to be a hit.
