Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour can substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free option
  • 1 tsp salt choose kosher or sea salt for best results
  • 1 cup cold butter replace with coconut oil or vegan butter for dairy-free
  • 6 tbsp ice water should be very cold to maintain flakiness
For the Filling
  • 1 whole vanilla bean or use 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 4 cups fresh apricots if using frozen, thaw and drain
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust to taste or use natural sweetener
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch can be swapped with all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom freshly ground yields best flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water to form a dough, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling by slicing apricots and tossing them with sugar, cornstarch, and cardamom. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness, ensuring it's large enough for the filling.
  4. Transfer rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
  5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating pleats and sealing the edges.
  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow to cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving warm with optional toppings like ice cream or whipped cream.
