Inspired by a market in southwestern France, Rick Stein's glistening apricot tart couldn't be easier to make thanks to the use of ready-made puff pastry.

Steps:
Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C.
Roll out the pastry into a long bar shape measuring about 15 x 35–40cm and transfer it to a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, score all around the pastry about 1.5cm in from the edge, but take care not to cut all the way through to the base. You just want to allow a border to rise around the fruit.
Sprinkle the ground almonds over the pastry within the score lines. Arrange the apricots, cut side up, over the ground almonds, keeping them tightly packed. Dust the apricots with the icing sugar.
Bake the tart for 25–30 minutes until the apricots are tender and caramelised and the pastry is risen and golden. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Warm the apricot jam over a low heat, then pass it through a sieve before brushing it liberally over the tart to glaze. Serve with crème fraiche.

- NOTE: I like to trim the edges of the pastry before cutting into serving pieces. It looks better, and the trimmings are delicious with coffee as the baker's reward for the work!
