- 1 3/4 cups low glycemic index flour
- 1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
- 1/4 cup stevia
- 1 cup sugar-free apricot jam
Useful Tools
- Bowl
- Kitchen scale
- Tart pan 8 inches
- Spoon
- Knife
- Cookie cutter shape of your choice
- Plastic wrap
- Rolling pin
- Parchment paper
Preparation of the sugar-free apricot tart
In a bowl, pour the flour and stevia and mix, then add the butter at room temperature (cut into pieces) and start mixing with your hands to combine.
Now add the egg yolks and, using a spoon, mix until you obtain a crumbly mixture. Pour this mixture onto the work surface and knead it with your hands until you get a smooth dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
After resting in the fridge, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch, cut a circle with 1/2 inch more than the pan’s edge (so if the pan is 8 inches, you should get a circle of 8 1/2 inches in diameter) and place the dough in the pan, making sure to get the edges at the same height.
Fill the tart by spreading the jam, decorate with the remaining dough by making strips and small shapes for decoration, heat the oven to 428°F and when it’s hot, bake it for a total of 25 minutes, the first 20 uncovered, then for the last 5 minutes cover the pan with parchment paper (to prevent the tart from darkening too much), once cooked, take out the sugar-free tart, let it cool down, and enjoy it!
