Rustic Apricot Tart

Preparation

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, and diced butter. Rub the mixture together with your fingertips until the butter is incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the egg, then mix without overworking the dough. Form the dough into a ball as soon as it is smooth, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Remove the pits from the apricots and cut them into 2 or 4 pieces. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it forms a circle 3 mm thick. Sprinkle the dough with ground almonds.
4. Arrange the apricot pieces on the dough, leaving a 3-cm border. Fold the edges of the dough over the apricots.
5. Scatter small cubes of butter over the mixture, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C.
6. Let it cool slightly before serving!
