Instructions
Step 1
If using frozen apricots, defrost them first.

Place the tart pan on a baking tray for easy handling.

Step 8
Place the eggs and sugar in a medium-sized bowl, and whisk together until light and fluffy.
Step 9
Gradually sprinkle in the flour, salt, ground almonds, milk or cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Keep whisking for 1-2 minutes, or until everything is incorporated.
Step 10
Pour this mixture over the apricots in the tart crust.
Step 11
Sprinkle the top with thinly sliced almonds.
