Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss until the apricots are evenly coated.
- Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
- Pour the apricot mixture into the tart crust, spreading it out evenly across the base.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apricots in the tart pan, ensuring that it covers the filling evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
- Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before serving. For an indulgent experience, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- For an added flavor twist, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the crumble topping.
- If apricots are out of season, peaches or plums make excellent substitutes.
- Make the tart crust ahead of time and freeze it for up to a month.
