This vegan Apricot Tart with Slivered Almonds is so simple and wholesome—the perfect way to celebrate a bounty of fresh apricots in the late spring and early summer when they are in season. The almonds in the crust and topping add a sweet, crunchy bite. Fruit-forward desserts like this tart recipe, which is light in sugar and fat and filled with the naturally sweet, nutritious taste of whole fruits, are a great way to enjoy healthful plant-based eating. Plus, it is pretty enough to impress at your best dinner party! This recipe is also healthy enough you could even have it for breakfast!
Since I have an apricot tree or two growing in my orchard, I make this recipe several times a year. It’s wonderful served for guests, and it is much easier than it looks. Just make the pastry, pat it into the bottom of a round pan, then top with apricots, slivered almonds, and a glaze and bake.
If apricots are not in season, switch to canned, unsweetened, drained apricots. You can also substitute plums or peaches for this recipe (which is so good!). To make this recipe gluten-free, just swap the wheat flours for your favorite gluten-free blend.
