To Prepare the Crust
For the pie crust, mix together 150gr of butter, 1 egg, the almond flour, 50gr of sugar, the lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
Mix the ingredients well and then add the flour

Roll the dough into a ball and allow to rest for 30 minutes
After 30 minutes, spread your dough in your baking tin, and place in a hot oven for 10 minutes at a temp. of 180c° (350F°)
For the Apricot Topping
Cut the apricots in two and remove the seed
Brown them lightly in a pan with 20gr of butter, stirring softly but steadily and add 50gr of sugar part way through cooking.
Cooking time will depend on your apricots maturity. Check cooking status introducing a sharp knife in the slices. The knife should pass easily.
Remove the dough from the oven
Arrange the apricots on the dough
In a bowl, beat together one egg, the heavy cream and 50gr of sugar
Pour this mixture over the apricots and put your baking tin back in the oven for 30 minutes at the same temperature
Take the tart out of the oven and allow to cool. Serve with a vanilla ice cream or a whipped cream.
Notes
Note: If apricots are not in season you can use nectarines, peaches or even figs.
