Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan oven, 375°F, gas mark 5). Roll the pastry into a 30.5 x 30.5cm/12 x 12in square, place on a large, greased baking sheet and knock up the edges slightly with a flat-bladed knife. Chill while you make the almond filling.
- Place the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and almonds in a large bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk for 2-3 mins until combined. Spread the almond mixture evenly over the chilled pastry to within 1cm (½ in) of the edge.
- Cut the apricots in half and remove the stones. If using tinned apricots, pat dry with kitchen paper. Arrange fruit on top of the filling and sprinkle over the flaked almonds. Bake for 25-30 mins until the top is golden and the pastry cooked.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly and dust with icing sugar. Serve with Kirsch Chantilly cream.
