French Style Apricot and Almond Pie

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

For the crust: combine all the dry ingredients. Add in the egg, softened butter, and mix by hand until roughly crumbled. Add water, little by little until the ingredients stick together and form a thick dough (you might not need to use it all). Roll a large disk of 10.5-inch (26 cm) in diameter, and line a pie dish with the crust.

Step 3

Cut the apricots in half and lay out on the crust, the cut side facing down.

Step 4

Pre-bake the pie for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

In the meantime,whisk the eggs, agave syrup (or honey), vanilla sugar, almond flour and crème fraîche.

Step 6

Remove the pie from the oven and pour the almond mixture on top of the pie. Add the slivered almonds on top.

Step 7

Place the pie back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
