Pistachio Apricot Tart

Pistachio Apricot Tart is a delectable dessert that combines the nutty flavor of pistachios with the sweetness of apricots in a buttery tart crust. It's a delightful treat for pistachio and apricot lovers.

Ingredients:

For the Tart Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ground pistachios
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pistachio Filling:

  • 1/2 cup ground pistachios
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

For the Apricot Topping:

  • 1 pound (450g) fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  2. In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, ground pistachios, and granulated sugar for the tart crust. Pulse a few times to mix.
  3. Add the chilled butter cubes to the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Add the egg mixture to the food processor and pulse until the dough comes together.
  5. Transfer the dough to the prepared tart pan. Press the dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, prepare the pistachio filling. Mix together the ground pistachios, granulated sugar, softened butter, and egg until well combined.
  7. Spread the pistachio filling evenly over the tart crust.
  8. In a bowl, toss the sliced apricots with granulated sugar and lemon juice for the apricot topping.
  9. Arrange the sliced apricots on top of the pistachio filling, pressing them slightly into the filling.
  10. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apricots are tender.
  11. Once the tart is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  12. Serve the Pistachio Apricot Tart at room temperature. You can dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative touch, if desired.

The Pistachio Apricot Tart is a delightful combination of nutty pistachios and juicy apricots, all nestled in a buttery tart crust. The contrast between the sweet apricots and the crunchy pistachio filling creates a delicious and visually appealing dessert. Enjoy a slice of this pistachio-apricot goodness!
