ALMOND-APRICOT TART
This rather simple tart recipe is open to interpretation. Bake it according to the recipe, which includes pastry bolstered with ground almonds and a filling rich with apricots that suggests frangipane with more almonds and mascarpone. But as the season takes on summer's glow, you could use this recipe as a template and swap out the apricots for a layer of lightly sweetened fresh raspberries splashed with framboise eau de vie. Diced poached sweetened rhubarb, diced fresh apricots or quartered and stemmed fresh black figs would work, too.

Steps:
- Place apricots and whisky in a saucepan, bring to a simmer and set aside. Turn apricots in warm whisky from time to time while continuing with preparation.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine flour, 1/4 cup ground almonds, salt and granulated sugar in a bowl or food processor. Whisk to combine. By hand or machine, add butter, pulsing or using a pastry blender to make a crumbly mixture. Beat egg yolk with 4 tablespoons cold water and add, mixing or pulsing until ingredients come together to form a dough. Add a little more water as needed.
- Shape pastry into a flattened disk on a floured surface and roll to fit a 9-inch straight-sided tart pan. Prick the bottom. Line with foil and pastry weights and bake 10 minutes. Remove foil and weights and bake 10 minutes more, until lightly golden. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Drain apricots, reserving any whisky. Tightly line pastry shell with apricots. Whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup ground almonds and confectioners' sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone until smooth. Beat 2 remaining eggs and add to mascarpone along with reserved whisky and almond extract. Mix into combined almonds and confectioners' sugar. Pour over apricots in pastry shell.
- Place tart in oven and bake 20 minutes. Sprinkle sliced almonds around the outside edge of the tart filling to form a border about an inch wide. Return to oven and bake another 15 to 20 minutes, until the filling is puffed and lightly browned. Remove from oven, place on a rack and let cool to room temperature before serving.

ALMOND APRICOT TART
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- To make the frangipane, place the almonds and the sugar in a food processor and grind until sandy. Add the butter and continue mixing then add the egg, vanilla, and the flour and mix until smooth.
- To make the tart, on a floured work surface pass your rolling pin over the pastry just to flatten any ridges.
- Place it on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and cut out a 9-inch disk. Spread the almond frangipane in the center of the tart leaving a 1-inch border. Firmly place the apricot halves into the frangipane spacing them evenly around the tart. Dot the spaces between the apricots with the whole almonds.
- Bake until golden brown on the top and puffy, about 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
APRICOT ALMOND BLONDIES
My mom shared this recipe with me after sampling these cookies at a bed-and-breakfast. For a little variation, I sometimes substitute cranberries and pecans for the apricots and almonds. -Amy Forkner, Cheyenne, Wyoming

APRICOT ALMOND TRUFFLES
This supposed to be a healthy alternative to traditional candy. This recipe uses dried apricots which are high in fiber. Almonds have many health benefits and the dark chocolate has antioxidants. So this is not candy at all - it's healthfood! Recipe adapted from Ellie Krieger.

APRICOT TRIFLE
This trifle is delicious! Aside from that it looks as lovely as a picture which I don't have. However, I have what it started out to look like.....and of course it has Amaretto. Once again, I used an industrial size cake mix so my times and servings are just an estimate.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- In a small bowl, soak the apricots in 3 tablespoons of Amaretto and set aside.
- Grease and flour a 9x13" baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, 2 tablespoons of the Amaretto and the amount of water called for on pkg directions less 2 tablespoons of liquid.(Due to the Amaretto that you added).
- Beat until well combined.
- Evenly spread the batter into the pan.
- Place in oven and bake until toothpick inserted into the cake's center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Unmold the cake.
- Using a 3" round cookie cutter, cut 12 rounds from it.
- Use a serrated knife to split each round in half horizontally.
- With a pastry brush or a basting brush, brush each of the 24 rounds with some of the remaining Amaretto.
- To assemble a single serving of trifle ~ place one round into an individual serving dish(like the little glass custard cups).
- Top with a spoonful of the jam or preserves, then 2 tablespoons of the custard, and a sprinkling of toasted almonds.
- Top with another layer of cake, jam and custard.
- Sprinkle with some of the Amaretto soaked apricots and top with a sprinkling of toasted almonds.
- NOTE: This can be made with a store bought yellow cake, store bought custard and the rest of items and can be literally put together in no time. This too, would look pretty in a parfait glass and just cut the round into little cubes.
