Instructions
Pastry
Rub butter into dry ingredients between fingertips until no large lumps remain.
Mix in egg with a knife and bring the mixture together into a ball with your hands.
Place in the fridge to rest, whilst getting on with the filling.
Filling
Cream butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs.
Sieve the almonds, flour and cinnamon. into the mix and stir gently until just combined.
Stir in the Amaretto
Roll out the pastry to line a 23cm greased loose bottom tart tin, then put back into the fridge for a few minutes.
Stone the apricots and cut into quarters.
Spoon the filling into the pastry case and push the apricots half way into the filling.
Bake on the top shelf for
20 minutes
in a preheated oven at 180℃ (350℉, Gas 4).
Brush some melted apricot jam over the tart (I used some marrow and ginger jam that hadn't set properly).
Scatter with the flaked almonds.
Place back on the top shelf of the oven for 8 minutes, until golden all over and set.
Leave to cool before removing from the tart case.
