Apricot Jam Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 1 cup apricot jam

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in the ice water until the dough comes together easily.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, and trim the edges.
4. Spread the apricot jam evenly onto the bottom of the tart.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the jam is bubbly.
6. Allow the tart to cool before cutting into even slices. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Verdict:

This Apricot Jam Tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tartness of the apricot jam perfectly balances the sweetness of the crust, resulting in a well-rounded flavor. The texture is also delightful, with a crisp crust and gooey filling.
