Dough: Make a dough from flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar, sugar, 1 egg and butter, chill if necessary. Roll out the dough on the greased base of a springform pan (28cm) and press it into the pan to create a 1.5cm edge. Topping: Mix the almonds, sugar, 1 egg and cream until smooth and spread on the dough base, cover with the apricot halves (inside up) and place a peeled, halved almond in the hollow of each apricot. (This is not necessary, tastes good without too much, but then place the apricot halves the other way around.) Baking: Electricity: 175°C (fan oven) – 200°C (preheated) Gas: 3-4 (not preheated) Baking time: about 50 minutes. Garnish with apricots after baking or dust with icing sugar before serving. Apricoting: Strain 1 heaped tablespoon of apricot jam through a sieve, add 1 tablespoon of water, and simmer gently while stirring. Spread over the topping immediately after baking.
