- Wheat Flour - 10.6 oz

Step by Step guide
Step 1
First, you need to prepare the frangipane. Beat 70 g of butter with powdered sugar, gradually adding in a previously beaten egg. Stir in roasted and coarsely ground almonds, a scant cup of flour, and mix everything well until the mixture is completely homogeneous. Let it rest.
Step 2
Wash the apricots and lay them out to dry on a paper towel.
Step 3
For the sugar syrup, combine water with half a cup of sugar in a saucepan. Place it over heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Cut the apricots in half and remove the pit. Place the halves in sugar syrup, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5–10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 5
For the dough, mix 100 g of flour with baking powder, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and salt. Incorporate grated cold butter and knead the dough with your hands. Break one egg (or preferably just use the yolk), mix it in, and shape the dough into a ball. Wrap the ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Step 6
Evenly spread the dough across the bottom and sides of the pan. Pour the frangipane into it and smooth it out with a spatula or a knife with a wide blade. Place the cooled apricots (cut side down) on top of the frangipane and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45 minutes, until the edges of the apricots are golden.
Step 7
Leave the finished pie in the pan to cool. Serve dusted with sugar and vanilla powder.
