adapted from :    anncoojournal.com

This Gluten Free Apricot Almond Tart with simple ingredients is not too sweet and it doesn't take much effort to prepare.  Besides fresh apricot, you can use any hard stone fruits, like nectarines, peaches, plums or even canned fruit of your choice...

Ingredients :

6  tbsp  melted butter  (60 gm)

3  tbsp  icing sugar

1 3/4  cups  ground almond meal  (180 gm)

3  large  eggs  ~  slightly beaten

1/4  cup  honey  (80 gm)

7-8  fresh (small size)   pitted apricots, cut to quarters  (I use canned peaches)

Directions :

1.  Preheat oven to 350'F/175'C.  Prepare and line with parchment paper -  4 - 12cm (5 inches) or 1 -  22cm (12 inches) removable pie pan.  (I use 20cm/8 inches, removable pie pan).

2.  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground almond meal and icing sugar together, mix well with a hand whisk.  Then add melted butter, honey and eggs into it.  Mix very well with a hand whisk until lump disappear and pour evenly into pans.

3.  Arrange apricots/canned peaches (strain the liquids first before using) in concentric circles on top of the batter.

4.  Bake for about 40-50 minutes (depending on your oven) or until browned and set.  Rotate the dish twice while baking for even browning.

5.  Let cool and remove from pan.  Dust with additional icing sugar and serve. !!!
