Apricot Crumble Tart

Ingredients

Pie crust

1 (9-inch) crust, store-bought or homemade

Fresh apricots

4 cups, pitted and sliced

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

Brown sugar

1/4 cup

All-purpose flour

1/4 cup (for the filling) + 1/2 cup (for the crumble)

Butter

1/2 cup, cold and cubed

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 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.
3. Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
4. Pour the apricot mixture into the tart crust, spreading it out evenly across the base.
5. 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.
6. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apricots in the tart pan, ensuring that it covers the filling evenly.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
8. 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.
