Apricot Tart-Taten

by Editorial Staff

It is difficult to find a pie simpler than tart-taten with fruit. The filling of this flip-flop is caramelized apricot halves, which you cover with shortbread dough – and in half an hour you have a fragrant cake of incredible beauty on your platter. A slightly crunchy crumbly sandy base and a moist, sweet filling – the perfect combination! Light sourness of apricots and sweetness of caramel give a rich taste that is not inferior to restaurant dishes.

Servings: 6

Cook: 1 hour

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • Cold butter – 80 g
  • Ice water – 3 tbsp
  • Flour – 170 g
  • Salt – 1 pinch

For filling:

  • Apricots – 500 g
  • Sugar – 100 g
  • Butter – 25 g

For decoration (optional):

  • Mint (fresh) – a few leaves

Directions

  1. Prepare shortbread dough: coarsely chop cold butter into a blender bowl and add flour (a little more than a 250 ml glass) and salt.
  2. Grind these ingredients on a low blender speed. You will have a fine sandy crumb.
    Add very cold water.
  3. Kill the dough again with short pulses from the blender.
    You will end up with a damp crumb that will clump and hold its shape.
  4. Gather all the dough into a tight ball and place on the center of the baking parchment.
  5. Use a rolling pin to roll out a ball of dough into a layer approximately 0.4-0.5 cm thick. The dia of the circle should be slightly larger than the dia of your mold (I have a mold with a diameter of 24 cm, and the dia of the dough layer is 30 cm). Place the parchment and dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  6. Put the pan in which you will bake the cake on the fire (I used a cast iron pan without a handle). Heat the butter in it and spread the sugar evenly over the bottom.
  7. Without stirring, continue to heat the butter and sugar over medium heat. After 3-4 minutes, the sugar will dissolve and turn into a light brown caramel. Remove from heat and cool caramel completely.
    Turn on the oven to heat up to 200 degrees.
  8. When the caramel is completely cool, prepare the apricots – cut them in half and remove the pits.
  9. Arrange the apricot halves in the caramel pan close to each other, flesh down.
  10. Remove the parchment and dough from the refrigerator and flip it onto the filled pan.
    Gently tuck the edges of the dough inward. Remove the pergement.
  11. Bake apricot shortbread pie in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove the cake pan from the oven.
  12. As soon as the caramel stops boiling, turn the cake over. To do this, cover the dish with a larger plate or board and gently turn it over.
  13. Transfer the apricot tart to a platter and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  14. Apricot tart-taten – delicious, beautiful and at the same time very easy!

Bon Appetit!
