Method

Melt the sugar in a 20cm ovenproof frying pan over medium heat until it caramelizes into a golden brown liquid.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter carefully with a wooden spoon.

Stir for 3 minutes until smooth, then arrange apricots cut-side down in the caramel and cool for 20 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and cut a circle slightly larger than the pan.

Place the pastry over the fruit, tuck in the edges, and prick the surface with a knife.

Bake for 25 minutes until the pastry is golden-brown and the fruit is cooked.

Let the tart stand for two minutes, then carefully invert it onto a large serving plate.

Serve the tart warm with crème fraîche or ice cream.
