Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 pound apricots, pits discarded, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
1/2 cup apricot jam

Steps:

  • In bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. With machine running, add 1/4 cup ice water in a slow stream through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being sticky; do not process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a bit together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Divide pate brisee dough in half. Flatten halves, and wrap in plastic; chill at least 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the pate brisee to a 1/8-inch-thick rectangle, about 6 by 11 inches. Using a 5-inch round cutter or a bowl, cut out 2 circles; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Using a fork, poke several holes around crusts. Chill dough on sheet for 15 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Arrange apricots in a fan shape on tarts. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar on each tart; bake until tarts are golden and apricots start to brown, 25 to 35 minutes. As tarts bake, warm jam in a saucepan. Remove tarts from oven; cool. Strain glaze into a bowl; discard solids. Brush glaze on tarts.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tarts didn't turn out very well. The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny.

These tarts were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I would recommend using a different recipe for the crust next time.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed these tarts. The almond extract really helped to balance out the sweetness of the apricots.

The crust was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend rolling it out thinner next time.

The tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

These individual apricot tarts were a delightful treat! The flaky crust and sweet apricot filling were a perfect combination. I especially loved the addition of the almond extract, which gave the tarts a lovely nutty flavor.
