Bakewell Tartt aux abricots Bakewell Tart with apricots ( Tarta de damascos o albaricoques)








One of my favorites fruits in summer are apricots.
These are really the last apricots of this difficult and hot summer. The apricots season is short and this year we ate a lot of au naturel and  only made apricot jam  for the winter.

And  this is  the first and only apricot's tart I made this season.
This tart  can be done with natural or canned apricots.
