Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
3 ounces whole blanched almonds (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
3 tablespoons blanched sliced almonds
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons almond flour or very finely ground blanched almonds
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 tablespoons half-and-half
10 to 12 fresh apricots, halved and pitted
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • To make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center. Brush a 8-by-11-inch tart pan with removable bottom with butter.
  • Place the almonds and 1 tablespoon sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the almonds are finely ground. Add the butter, and process until combined. Pulse in the flour, the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and the almond extract until combined.
  • Transfer the crumbly dough to the prepared pan. Using your fingers, pat out dough evenly to make a thin crust along the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Chill the crust 30 minutes.
  • Bake crust until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • To make the filling and assemble the tart: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almond slices in a single layer in a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through baking to make sure the nuts toast evenly. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, salt, all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder; whisk together. Whisk in the eggs, melted butter, and half-and-half until well combined. Pour the filling into the baked crust.
  • Arrange the apricot halves, cut sides up, on top of the filling, packing the fruit closely together. Sprinkle the tops of the apricots with the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the entire tart.
  • Bake the tart until the filling is puffed and golden brown, 60 to 70 minutes, rotating the pan after 30 minutes for even browning. Transfer tart to a wire rack to cool. Unmold, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

FRESH APRICOT TART WITH PRUNES



Fresh Apricot Tart With Prunes image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 large pitted prunes
3 tablespoons apricot nectar or orange juice
2 tablespoons apricot or orange liqueur
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, in small pieces
3 tablespoons ice water (approximately)
10 fresh apricots, ripe but not soft
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Quarter the prunes, place them in a small saucepan with the nectar and liqueur, and simmer 10 minutes to soften them. Set them aside to cool.
  • Mix the flour, granulated sugar and salt together in a bowl. Add all but one tablespoon of the butter and, using your fingertips or two knives, break the butter up into the flour mixture until the mixture has a coarse, mealy texture. This can be done by pulsing in a food processor. Sprinkle the ice water over the flour and butter mixture and, using a fork, lightly mix until the ingredients begin to cling together and can be formed into a dough. If you mixed the butter and flour together in a food processor, transfer them to a bowl to mix in the water by hand.
  • Form the dough into a flattened ball and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Roll out the dough between sheets of waxed paper to form a circle 12 inches in diameter. Peel off one sheet of the waxed paper and place the dough, with the remaining sheet of paper on top, in a nine-inch tart pan. Peel off the top sheet of waxed paper and fit the dough into the pan. Trim the edges. Cover the pastry with a sheet of foil, weight it with pastry weights or dry beans and bake it for 10 minutes, until it looks dry. Remove it from the oven and remove the foil and weights.
  • Pit and quarter the apricots, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Mix the prunes with a tablespoon of the brown sugar and spread them over the bottom of the pastry in the pan. Arrange the quartered apricots in a pattern over the prunes. Sprinkle the apricots with the remaining brown sugar and dot with bits of the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  • Place in the oven and bake about 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the apricots begin to brown around the edges. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

APPLE, APRICOT, AND PRUNE TART



Apple, Apricot, and Prune Tart image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Prune     Apple     Apricot     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For pastry dough:
2 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, frozen
8 to 10 tablespoons ice water
For filling:
Pie weights or raw rice for weighting shell
5 Granny Smith apples (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup apricot jam
Accompaniment: crème fraîche or whipped cream

Steps:

  • Make pastry dough:
  • Into a chilled large metal bowl sift together flour and salt. Set a grater in bowl and using largest teardrop-shaped holes coarsely grate frozen butter into flour, gently lifting and tossing flour to coat butter. Chill mixture 20 minutes. Drizzle 8 tablespoons ice water evenly over mixture and gently stir with a fork until just incorporated. Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: When it has proper texture it should hold together without crumbling apart. If necessary, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until just incorporated, and test mixture again. (If you overwork or add too much water, pastry will be tough.)
  • Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hands mound into 4 portions. With heel of hand smear each portion once in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough portions together and form it, rotating it on work surface, into a disk (dough will not be smooth). Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 2 hours, or until firm, and up to 2 days.
  • On floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out dough 1/4 inch thick (about a 15-inch round). Fit dough into a 12 1/2- by 1-inch fluted round tart pan with a removable bottom and with a rolling pin roll over top of shell to trim pastry flush with rim. With a fork prick bottom of shell all over. Chill shell 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake shell in middle of oven 20 minutes. Carefully remove weights or rice and foil and bake shell until golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool shell in pan on a rack.
  • Make filling
  • Peel, core, and chop 1 apple. In a saucepan cook chopped apple, apricots, 1/2 cup sugar, and water, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit is tender, about 12 minutes. Cool mixture 20 minutes. In a food processor pulse mixture until smooth and transfer to a small bowl. Chop prunes and stir into purée. Peel remaining 4 apples and quarter. Core apples and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
  • Spoon apricot purée evenly into shell and smooth top. Decoratively arrange apple slices, overlapping them, over purée and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • Bake tart in middle of oven until apple slices are slightly browned and crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cool tart slightly in pan on rack. In a small saucepan melt jam over low heat and pour through a fine sieve into a small bowl. Press hard on solids and discard. With a pastry brush, brush glaze evenly over tart.
  • Serve tart with crème fraîche or whipped cream.

PRUNE, CHERRY, AND APRICOT FRANGIPANE TART



Prune, Cherry, and Apricot Frangipane Tart image

Categories     Dessert     Side     Bake     Apricot     Cherry     Chill     Pastry     Simmer

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

for dried fruit compote
2/3 cup grappa, preferably Julia brand
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup pitted prunes, halved
1/3 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup dried California apricots
for pastry dough
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
for frangipane filling
7 ounces almond paste (not marzipan; about 1 cup)
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Special equipment: 11-inch flan ring or round tart pan with removable bottom; pie weights or dried beans

Steps:

  • make dried fruit compote
  • Heat the grappa with the sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the fruit and gently simmer 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let macerate, stirring occasionally, 24 hours.
  • make tart shell
  • Blend together the flour, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
  • Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water evenly over mixture. Gently stir with a fork (or pulse) until incorporated. Squeeze a small handful of dough: if it doesn't hold together, add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated. Do not overwork dough, or pastry will be tough.
  • Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With the heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather the dough together with a pastry scraper, if you have one. Press into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Set an 11-inch flan ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (If using a tart pan, parchment is not necessary.) Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into the flan ring and trim excess dough. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F, with the rack in the middle.
  • Lightly prick the bottom of the shell all over with a fork, then line with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the side is set and the edge is pale golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the bottom is golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool completely in the pan, about 30 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • make frangipane filling
  • Beat the almond paste, butter, sugar, extract, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the flour.
  • fill tart and bake
  • Spread the frangipane filling in the cooled shell. Drain the fruit in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving the syrup, and scatter the fruit over the filling, pressing in slightly. Bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer the tart on parchment to a rack. Brush the reserved syrup over the tart and cool to warm or room temperature.
  • do ahead
  • The DRIED FRUIT can be macerated up to 3 days.
  • The TART SHELL can be baked 1 day ahead and kept (once cool), wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature.
  • The TART is best eaten the day it is baked but can be made 1 day ahead, covered with foil, kept at room temperature.
  • The DOUGH can be chilled 2 days or frozen, wrapped well, 3 months.
