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.
