Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 55 mins
- Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and put a baking sheet in. Roll out the pastry and cut out 4 circles using a saucer as a template. Using a sharp knife, score a line 1cm in from the edge. Roll out the marzipan to the thickness of a £1 coin and cut out 4 circles to fit inside the scored lines.
- Put the pastry on a second baking sheet, put a circle of marzipan in the middle of each and arrange 3 apricot halves, cut-side up, on each. Sprinkle a little sugar into each apricot. Put the baking sheet in the oven on top of the hot baking sheet - this will help crisp the pastry base.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and browned and the apricots are slightly caramelised around the edges. While they're still hot, brush with the apricot jam to glaze.
Give them the home-baked touch
By brushing the pastry with melted butter before baking; the glaze will add a patisserie-like shine and taste.
Recipe from olive magazine, March 2005.
