Apricot-Frangipane Tart with Orange Blossom Glaze






I had never heard of "frangipane" before so I was really interested in attempting this recipe. Frangipane is a French cake-like filling made from ground almonds, eggs, butter and eggs. I arranged fresh apricots onto the dense filling and baked the tart for half an hour. When i tried the tart I was a little disappointed. The almond flavor was a perfect complement to the apricots, but i wasn't a fan of the dense cake texture of the frangipane. Maybe its an acquired taste? Overall, I am happy I tried the recipe, but I won't be making it again anytime soon.
