Apricot Frangipane Tart is one of the most delicious tarts ever. Buttery flaky crust, almond filling topped with ripe sliced apricots, by far one of the best summer tarts. Apricots might be my favorite fruits for tarts as their flavor is enhanced when cooked and they bring an amazing flavor to any dessert.
Feel free to change apricots with various other fruits, frangipane tart goes well with berries, nectarines, peaches, plums so each time you can get a different flavor and enjoy the summer fruit burst. Enjoy!

Hi
Can I use a round tin instead? Thanks
How would you modify this recipe for an 8 inch round tart pan? That’s all I have and I would love to try this recipe!
you may try exactly these measurements.. might remain some leftover dough depending on how thin you roll it..
The amazing thing is, I had exactly everything I needed for this recipe already in the house—even the rectangular pan. It’s in the oven now. So exciting.
I also want to mention that the pie crust is a dream!! Easiest one I’ve ever made, and there was plenty for the pan–I never needed to scrimp and scrap it. Well done!

Hi dear Ella ,
Hope you are doing fine . I have a question . If I want to use a circle instead of a rectangle, what is the perfect size? Thank you .
Thank you for the question Nooshin. Yes, we are doing ok. For the exact amounts in this recipe you can use a 9 inch (22-23cm) round tart pan.
Many thanks , right now I want to watch your program on TV .
