Apricots are in season all around our neck of the woods.  It’s seems that so many of my neighbors have trees that are bursting with them!  So, I was super happy to be able to pick some from a neighbor and create this Apricot Thyme Lemon Tart to share with you!  It’s fruity, lemony, and the thyme adds a touch of robust flavor that’s just magical.

When I was in Culinary School we made puff pastry from scratch and let me tell you, it’s actually a bit of work!  It’s a process of layering butter and dough- then folding. sheeting, and resting the dough multiple times all the while being extra careful to handle it just right so the layers won’t collapse on each other.  It’s a trick to get it just right!

I was thrilled to find the handy frozen puff pastry sheets in the freezer of my local grocery store!  All the beauty of fresh pastry dough with all of that hard work already done for us 🙂  Awesome!

Our Apricot Lemon Thyme Tart looks beautiful and you might think it’s difficult to make, but I promise you it’s totally not.  It’s just a few ingredients mixed together and spread on the puff pastry dough, arranging the apricots, and bake!  It’s awesome and is sure to impress all of your family and friends.
