Method
- Toss together the drained apricots and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.
- Put the sugar in a 23cm oven-safe frying pan over a low-medium heat. Allow to melt, keeping a close eye on it – swirl the pan occasionally but don’t stir. When it turns golden, remove from the heat and stir in the butter (it may spit a little).
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Arrange the spiced apricots over the caramel in the pan, making sure there are no gaps.
- Unroll the pastry and lay over the top to cover the apricots completely, trimming to fit the pan, with enough of a border to tuck the edges down around the fruit to make a crust. Poke holes all over the pastry with a fork, then bake for 20 mins or until risen and golden. Leave to rest for 5 mins, then carefully invert the tart onto a plate. Serve warm with ice cream or cream, if you like.
