Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg yolk, sour cream, and salt, mixing well. Gradually incorporate the flour until the dough forms.
Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 2
After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle. Transfer it to a 24 cm (9.5 inches) tart pan, pressing the dough against the sides to form a slight rim.
Trim any excess dough from the edges. Place the tart crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together the egg white, whole egg, and sugar until well combined. Stir in the almond flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest to form a smooth mixture.
Set aside while you preheat your oven.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the filling into the prepared crust and neatly arrange the halved apricots and blueberries on top.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds, then bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the tart to cool completely before serving.

Equipment
This pan is essential for shaping your tart and ensuring even baking. If you don't have one, a pie dish can work as a substitute, but keep an eye on the baking time!
A smooth rolling pin will help you roll out the dough evenly. Make sure to flour it lightly to prevent sticking.



A large mixing bowl is required for combining ingredients. Choose one that's easy to handle and clean!



A whisk will make mixing your filling a breeze. Opt for a medium-sized whisk for optimal control and speed.



Variations
If you're looking for **gluten-free** options, simply substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You can also use almond flour for an extra nutty flavor! 🌰💚
For **vegan** variations, replace the butter with coconut oil and use flaxseed meal mixed with water as an egg substitute. This tart will be both delicious and cruelty-free! 🥥✨Just remember to adjust baking times as needed.
Faq
- What if my dough is too crumbly?
If your dough is too crumbly, it may need a bit more moisture. Add a teaspoon of cold water or milk, mixing until it comes together.
- Can I use frozen apricots?
Yes, if you’re using frozen apricots, make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture in the tart.
- What can I use instead of almond flour?
If you don’t have almond flour, finely ground oats or sunflower seed flour can be good substitutes. Just keep in mind that it’ll change the flavor slightly.
- How can I tell if the tart is done baking?
The tart is done when the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Can I prepare the crust ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the crust ahead of time, wrap it tightly, and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze it for a month.
- How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Just be ready for them to disappear quickly!
