Stone fruits are in season! This is a simple recipe, a nut crust with fruit on top. Lately, I had been making berry, apple and pear tarts for quick desserts with a pie crust. This past weekend, it was time for an apricot version. Because apricots are not overly juicy, I cooked them on the stove to give it some moisture. The nut crust was baked on its own, and while it was baking, I cooked the apricots with cinnamon and a bit of raw sugar on the stove, and simply laid it on top. It was luscious, sweet, and slightly tart, enjoyed on a warm, sunny Saturday afternoon.
