Apricot & marzipan pie

This apricot and marzipan pie is one of my family’s favourite pies. We can hardly wait apricots to appear on the market, so that we could bake a huge pie. As we are big family, baking the pie in a small round dish is never enough. So this time, here are the quantities for the tray 28x38cm – not that huge 🙂

300gr of flour

250gr of butter

200gr of brown sugar

4 eggs

1tsp of baking powder

1 sachet of vanilla sugar

100ml of milk

1kg of apricots

100ml of apricot jam

For the crumble:

160gr of marzipan

100gr of butter

100gr of brown sugar

1tsp of cinnamon

150gr of flour

Few drops of almond essence

50gr of almond flakes on the top

To make the pastry whisk the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar or vanilla extract. Add one egg at a time. Mix flour with baking powder and add it to the mixture. Stir in milk. Pour the mixture on the tray lined with baking paper.

Arrange the apricot halves on top and sprinkle with slightly warmed apricot jam.

Make the crumble by combining all the ingredients with hand, making crumbs with your fingers. Sprinkle the crumble over the apricots, and put the almond flakes on top all over the pie.

Bake in the preheated oven on 180°C for 45min or until is golden brown.

Now, one more thing, do not forget to share your apricot and marzipan pie with your loved ones.
