Directions

Step #1 Place apricots in a shallow dish & cover (just) with boiling water.
Step #2 Allow to sit & soften, they will become raisin-like.
Step #3 Meanwhile, brown sugar, cinnamon, mix flour, & salt in a bowl.
Step #4 Add butter in small pieces & mix until mixture looks like coarse sand.
Step #5 Beat together egg yolk & lemon juice & pour this into flour mixture while mixer is running.
Step #6 Mix well, & if dough seems a little dry, add a little extra lemon juice.
Step #7 Now knead mixture carefully by hand & form into a ball.
Step #8 Flatten into a disc shape & chill for 10 mins before using.
Step #9 Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
Step #10 Roll out pastry on a floured surface & place this in a 9 inch tart or pie pan, forming it up the sides.
Step #11 Prick pastry with a fork, line with tinfoil wrap & place a pie weight on top.
Step #12 If you don't have a pie weight, simply line with foil wrap, & place a heavy baking dish right on top of the foil wrap.
Step #13 This will prevent the pastry from puffing up while baking, & keep it tart-like.
Step #14 Bake 15 mins, remove foil wrap & weight & bake for 5 mins longer.
Step #15 Reduce oven temp to 375 degrees.
Step #16 Place ground almonds on a cookie sheet & bake for 3 mins, cool.
Step #17 Drain water off apricots.
Step #18 If using whole apricots, cut each apricot into 6-8 small pieces.
Step #19 Combine almonds, butter, sugar & sliced apricots in a bowl.
Step #20 Add salt, eggs & reserved egg white & mix well.
Step #21 Pour onto cooled baked tart shell & bake 25 mins or until set.
Step #22 Place orange slices on top.
Step #23 Melt jam on stove & brush top of tart with glaze.
Step #24 Bring whipping cream to a slow boil in a pan, stirring often.
Step #25 Pour over sliced white chocolate & stir until chocolate is smooth & melted.
Step #26 Cool completely in refrigerator to let mixture become thicker.
Step #27 Cut & serve tart, stir cold chocolate cream mixture again & drizzle over tart portions on plate.
